Question

Help please! What is the slope?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have your graph marked and ready to find the slope.

slope = rise/run

rise = vertical distance (up or down)

run = horizontal distance (left or right)

Start at the lower point you have marked in the graph.

That point is (-2, -7).

We need to go to the other point you have marked on the line, but we can only move vertically (up or down) and horizontally (left or right).

We start at point (-2, -7) and we go 2 units up along the segment you drew.

2 units up is a rise of +2.

Now we go 1 unit right along the segment you drew.

1 unit right is a run of +1.

slope = rise/run = 2/1 = 2

Answer: The slope is 2.
