• Reading a Cartesian plane
• Coordinates (x, y)
• Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (0, 0)

Point (0.5, 12)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                            $\displaystyle m=\frac{12-0}{0.5-0}$
2. [Fraction] Subtract:                                                                                         $\displaystyle m=\frac{12}{0.5}$
3. [Fraction] Divide:                                                                                              $\displaystyle m=24$

Answer 2

Since m in y=mx+b is rise over run, then y = 24x, or the slope is 24
