Question

What is the slope of this line

Answer 1

Just by eyeballing the graph, you could see that the slope is 1: whenever x increases by 1, y will also increase by 1. Since the slope is defined as the ratio of the increments along the y and x axis, we have 1/1=1.

If you want to be more formal, you can pick any two points on the line, for example (0,1) and (3,4), and use the formula

$m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \dfrac{4-1}{3-0} = 1$

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is also its gradient. A gradient is basically rise/run

In this case the rise is one and the run is also one if you look at the graph...therefore 1/1 equals 1
