Question

Can anyone please help me determine the slope of the line in the graph.

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we need to read 2 points off the graph.

Where the line crosses the y-axis, the point is (0, 2.5).

The next point up on the line looks like (1, 4.5).

slope = m = (difference in y)/(difference in x)

To find the difference in y and difference in x, subtract the y-coordinates and the x-coordinates, respectively, in the same order.

difference in y = 4.5 - 2.5 = 2

difference in x = 1 - 0

slope = m = (difference in y)/(difference in x) = 2/1 = 2
