Question

What is the slope of this line?

Answer 1

Hello there! Slope is rise/run. The formula for finding slope is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1, where you subtract the first x and y-coordinates from the second s and y-coordinates. We will use the points (0, 6) and (8, 8). The values will represent each of these:

y2 = 8
y1 = 6
x2 = 8
x1= 0

That makes the problem 8 - 6/ 8 - 0. Let's subtract. 8 - 6 is 2. 8 - 0 is 8. 2/8 is 1/4 in simplest form. There. The slope of the line is 1/4.

Answer 2

Hello!

To find slope, calculate the change in y-values and divide it by the change in x-values:

y1 - y2 / x1 - x2

You have the coordinates (-4, 5), (0, 6), and (8, 8). You can use any combination of two of these points to calculate slope. I'll use (0, 6) and (8, 8).

6 - 8 / 0 - 8
-2 / -8
1/4

Answer:
The slope of the line is 1/4
