Question

Calculate the slope of the line on the graph using the

Answer 1

Given:

The graph of a line which represents position (m) at time (s).

To find:

The slope of the line.

Solution:

Formula for slope:

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

From the given graph it is clear that the line passes through two points (0,0) and (1,4).

Using the above formula, we get

$m=\dfrac{4-0}{1-0}$

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

$m=4$

Therefore, the slope of the line is  4 m/s.
