Answer: The slope is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to see the slope is to look at the graph and find places where the graphed line crosses the corners formed by the grid lines. Then count the number from top to bottom and divide that number by the number of blocks left to right (IF the scale is the same for both the x-axis and y-axis!) Then divide up-down number by left-right number. If it is the same, the slope is 1.
Here the line crosses the y axis at -1 exactly: (0, -1) The next place where it crosses the corner exactly is at (1, 5). Counting blocks: 6 from top to bottom, only 1 left to right 6/1
Or do it with the numbers: Find the difference in y-values, them divide by the difference in x-values, Using Coordinates (0,-1) and (1,5) the difference in y-values is 5-(-1) = 5+1 = 6 The difference in x-values is 1 - 0 = 1 6÷1 = 6
