Question

What is the slope of this line

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{slope=\dfrac{4}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\the\ picture\ \#1\\\\slope=\dfrac{rise}{run}\\\\\text{We have}\ rise=4,\ run=5.\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\slope=\dfrac{4}{5}$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\the\ picture\ \#2\\\\\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{From the graph we have the points}\ (-2,\ 0)\ \text{and}\ (3,\ 4).\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\m=\dfrac{4-0}{3-(-2)}=\dfrac{4}{5}$

Answer 2

The slope of the line would be 4/5 because it is going up 4 units (positive) and going to the right (positive) 5 units
