Question

Find the slope of the line graphed in the diagram and choose the correct answer from the choices below. The two intercepts are (0,3) and (-2.5,0)

Answer 1

Answer:

6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given points (0, 3) and (-2.5, 0) you can substitute it into the slope formula which is y2-y1/x2-x1

In this case, 3 in the first parenthesis is the y2, while 0 in the second parenthesis set is 0.

so,

= substitute in the numbers for the slope formula: 3-0/0-(-2.5)

= reduce the fraction and you get: 1.2

= convert to simplified fraction to get: 6/5

Hope this helps, I did this on a quiz and got the answer right.
