The slope of the line in its simplest form is 3.

The slope of a line is $Slope=\frac{Rise}{Run}$ .

We need to find the slope of the line in its simplest form.

<h3>What is the slope?</h3>

In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line. The slope is often denoted by the letter m; there is no clear answer to the question of why the letter m is used for slope.

Select any two points on the line like A and B.

From the below figure it is clear that

Rise = Change in y = -2-(-5) = 3

Run = Change in x = 9-0 = 9

Now, $\frac{9}{3} =3$

Therefore, the slope of the line in simplest form is 3.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$(1\frac{1}{2},1)$ - False

$(4,6)$ - True

$(18,12)$ -- False

$(0,0)$ -- True

$(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})$ -- True

Step-by-step explanation:

The points are

$(1\frac{1}{2},1)$ , $(4,6)$ , $(18,12)$ , $(0,0)$ and $(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})$ ---- missing from the question

Given

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$

Required

Determine if each of the points would be on $y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$

To do this, we simply substitute the value of x and of each point in $y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ .

(a) $(1\frac{1}{2},1)$

In this case;

$x = 1\frac{1}{2}$ and $y = 1$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 1\frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{3}{2} * \frac{3}{2}$

$y = \frac{9}{4}$

$y = 2\frac{1}{4}$

The point $(1\frac{1}{2},1)$ won't be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 1\frac{1}{2}$ is $y = 2\frac{1}{4}$

(b) $(4,6)$

In this case;

$x = 4$

$y = 6$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 4$

$y = \frac{3}{2} * 4$

$y = \frac{3* 4}{2}$

$y = \frac{12}{2}$

$y = 6$

The point $(4,6)$ would be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 4$ is $y = 6$

(c) $(18,12)$

In this case:

$x = 18;y = 12$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 18$

$y = \frac{3}{2} * 18$

$y = \frac{3* 18}{2}$

$y = \frac{54}{2}$

$y = 27$

The point $(18,12)$ wouldn't be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 18$ is $y = 12$

(d) $(0,0)$

In this case;

$x =0; y = 0$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 0$

$y = 0$

The point $(0,0)$ would be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 0$ is $y = 0$

(e) $(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})$

In this case:

$x = 2\frac{1}{2}$ ; $y = 3\frac{3}{4}$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 2\frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{3}{2} * \frac{5}{2}$

$y = \frac{15}{4}$

$y = 3\frac{3}{4}$

The point $(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})$ would be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 2\frac{1}{2}$ is $y = 3\frac{3}{4}$
