Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{5-(-3)}{1-(-1)}$ = $\frac{5+3}{1+1}$ = $\frac{8}{2}$ = 4 → C
