Question

Find the slope of the line graphed below.

Answer 1

Given:

The graph of a line.

To find:

The slope of the graphed line.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the line passes through the points (-2,2) and (2,5). So, the slope of the line is:

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

$m=\dfrac{5-2}{2-(-2)}$

$m=\dfrac{3}{2+2}$

$m=\dfrac{3}{4}$

Therefore, the slope of the given graphed line is $m=\dfrac{3}{4}$.
