Question

Which linear function represents a slope of 1/4

Answer 1

It is the second one on Ed, I just took the assignment

Answer 2

ANSWER

The correct answer is B.


EXPLANATION

We use the formula for finding the slope of a straight line which is given by

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
to find the slope each table or graph.



From the first table, the slope can be calculated using
$(3,-11) \: and \: (6,1)$

$m = \frac{1 - - 11}{6 - 3} = 4$


From option B, the slope can be calculated using
$(8,5) \: and \: (0,3)$


$m = \frac{5- 3}{8 - 0} = \frac{1}{4}$

From the third option, we can calculate the slope using
$(-5,32) \: and \: (-1,24)$

$m = \frac{32 - 24}{ - 5 - - 1} = - \frac{3}{2}$


We can calculate the slope of the last option using
$(2,0) \: and \: (3,4)$
$m = \frac{4 - 0}{3 - 2} = 4$


Therefore the correct answer is B.
