Question

Select the correct answer. Which number best represents the slope of the graphed line? A linear function on a coordinate plane passes through (minus 6, minus 7), and (4, minus 2) also intercepts the x-axis at 8 units and the y-axis at minus 4 units. A. B. C. D.

Answer 1

The number best represents the slope of the graphed line is 1/2.

We have given the two points,

(-6,-7) and (4,-2) and slope-intercept is 8 units

What is the slope-intercept form of a line?

$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

y = y coordinate of the second point

$y_1$ = y coordinate of point one

m = slope

x = x coordinate of the second point

$x_{1}$= x coordinate of point one

Therefore the

$slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_!}$

$=\frac{-2-(-7)}{4-(-6)} \\=\frac{5}{10}\\ =\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore the correct option is 1/2.
