right 3, up 6 \(m=\frac{6}{3}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To calculate slope, use the two points given in the graph and plug them into the slope formula: \[m = slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay what next? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, you plug in your points. \[m = \frac{6-0}{0-(-3)} = \frac{6}{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then, you reduce the fraction; \[\frac{6}{3} = 2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's your slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! That's it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes ma'am.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That 's easy! Thanks so much!
