Need help finding the slope of this line: http://www.webassign.net/waplots/c/f/82ac7a10bd44a27d3a8709cf700274.gif

Start by picking any two points on line having integer coordinates

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how about these two points in blue

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how many boxes are there between those two points in vertical direction ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simply count them

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

there are 5 boxes in vertical direction, yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

similarly can you find the number of boxes in horizontal direction ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the graph once and make a best guess im sure you will be right, give it a try :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

there are 3 boxes in horizontal direction

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so the slope would be \(\large \dfrac{5}{3}\)
