Question

Find the slope of the line graphed in the diagram and choose the correct answer from the choices below. The two intercepts are (0,3) and (-2.5,0)

Answer 1

1.2 is the slope of the line graphed in the given diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the given points (0, 3) and (-2.5, 0) to solve.

Slope formula is given by

             $\text { slope, } m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Given two intercepts:

$\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)=(0,3) \text { and }\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)=(-2.5,0)$

By substituting these in the slope equation, we get

     $\text { slope, } m=\frac{0-3}{-2.5-0}=\frac{-3}{-2.5}=\frac{3}{2.5}=1.2$
