Question

What is the slope of the line shown in this graph?

Answer 1

consider the interval (-6,0) to (-1,4)

how much does the line rise for ever unit it goes across?

Answer 2

What.

Answer 3

Choose 2 points say (-6,0) (-1,4) then use the slope formula, m (Slope)=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 4

HELP ME!

Answer 5

Slope = (4-0)/(-1--6)

Answer 6

slope = 4/5

Answer 7

to find the slope you do \({y_2−y_1}\over{x_2−x_1}\) [where \((x_1 ,y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\)]...so lets say you have points \((a,b)\) and \((c,d)\), you would do \({d−b}\over{c−a}\) and the result would be your slope...now lets try your given points:

so choose the two points provided on your graph (4,8) and (-1,4):
\[{y_2−y_1}\over{x_2−x_1}\]plug in the values into the formula:\[{4−8}\over{-1−4}\]subtract:\[-4\over-5\]the negatives cancel out and you are left with \[\large\text{slope = \(4\over5\)}\]
hope this helps! :)
