Question

WHAT IS THE SLOPE OF THE LINE SHOWN BELOW

Answer 1

Answer: D $\dfrac{6}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$

From the given figure, we can see that the line is passing from the points (-5, - 1) ans (5,11).

Then , the slope of the given line will be :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{11-(-1)}{5-(-5)}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Slope}=\dfrac{12}{10}=\dfrac{6}{5}$

Hence, the slope of the given line = $\dfrac{6}{5}$

Answer 2

Slope is rise over run. So you "rise" 6 spaces from -1 to 5 and then you "run" 5 spaces to the right i believe it will be 6/5.
