Question

What is the slope of the line on the graph? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

To find the slope,we can use the slope formula:
$\frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}$
Where x and y are y coordinates and x coordinates respectively.

To find the answer, put any two points into the formula.

In this case, (1,5) and (0,-1) will be used:

x1 and y1 would be the x and y coordinate in the first point(1,5), while x2 and y2 would be the x and y coordinate in the first point (0,-1)

$\frac{5 - ( - 1)}{ 1- 0} \\ = \frac{5 + 1}{1} \\ = \frac{ 6}{1} \\ = 6$
Therefore the answer is 6.

Hope it helps!
