Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

Answer:

$m = \frac {1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Here

$(x_1, y_1) = (-3, -1) \ \ and \ \ (x_2, y_2)= (5, 1)$

Slope can be calculated as

$m = \frac{1-(-1)}{5-(-3)}$

$m = \frac{2}{8} \\m = \frac {1}{4}$
