Question

Find the slope of the line graphed. A)1/2 B)1 C)2 D)4

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope is 2. Y-intercept is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope look how many it goes up and right. So 2 up and 1 right will give a slope of 2. The y-intercept is -2 because it touches the y-axis.

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this you would just look at two points that the line will cross. The 2 pairs or coordinates that are the most obvious to me are (0,-2) and (1,0) so then we would do an equation that is $y_{2}$ (which is the second y in this case 0) minus $y_{1}$(First y in this case -2) over or / $x_{2}$(second x in this case 1) minus $x_{1}$(first x in this case 0) so when we plug in into the equation is is $\frac{0-(-2)}{1-0}$ which will be simplified to $\frac{2}{1}$ so the slope would be 2.

Another simpler way to solve this is to is just to count the distance between the 2 slopes so we would go up 2 to get to 0 and over 1 which would be $\frac{2}{1}$ or 2.
