Question

Choose the correct slope of the line shown on the graph below.

Please Explain

Answer 1

a simple method for the slope of a line that has been graphed like this is just to divide the y intercept by the x intercept

Answer 2

an since the slope goes up hill from left to right; just drop the negative

Answer 3

i know this but i dont have any corridnates just this question and picture and these options three halves

two thirds

−three halves

−two thirds

Answer 4

the grap gives you coords .....

Answer 5

its just line though?

Answer 6

yes; where does the line cross the y axis?

Answer 7

-5

Answer 8

good;

-5 divided by; where does the line cross the x axis?

Answer 9

look like 7?

Answer 10

looks more like 7.5 to me

Answer 11

-5/7.5 = ??

and since its going uphill from left to right, ignore the negative

Answer 12

1.5?

Answer 13

youre not adept at dividing are you ....

Answer 14

what?

Answer 15

:D

Answer 16

5/7.5 is not 1.5

Answer 17

there are other ways of course to determine the slope from the graph ....

Answer 18

i could use the formula?

Answer 19

find 2 consequtive places that the line hits a "corner"

Answer 20

kk

Answer 21

count how many boxes you ahve to move to get form one corner to the other. up/over

Answer 22

i see it hitting corners at:

(0,-5) and (3,-3)

Answer 23

wait i think i can get answer give me a sec

Answer 24

Take one point on line
I choose x=3, y=-3
From line equation \[y=kx+b\]
b is y point, where line crosses x axis, in this example b=-5
so put all in equation \[-3=3k-5\\3k=2\\k=2/3\]
So slope is 2/3

Answer 25

the answer is 2 over 3

Answer 26

2 over 3 is good to me

Answer 27

yay thanks =D

Answer 28

youre welcome :) and good luck

Answer 29

thanks :D
