Question

What is the slope of this graph

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope, m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Picking points on the x-axis and y-axis of the graph;

Point on x-axis (x1, x2) = 2, 4

Points on the y-axis (y1, y2) = 10, 20

To find the slope;

Mathematically, slope is given by the formula;

$Slope = \frac{Change \; in \; y \; axis}{Change \; in \; x \; axis}$

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

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Slope, m = \frac {20 - 10}{4 - 2}$

$Slope, m = \frac {10}{2}$

Slope, m = 5
