Question

The graph shows the cost of one pound of apples at the grocery store. Find the slope of the line??????

i dont understand!!

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{The\ slope=\dfrac{3}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the graph we have the points (0, 0) and (4, 6) - look at the picture.

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{6-0}{4-0}=\dfrac{6}{4}=\dfrac{6:2}{4:2}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

Answer 2

The slope of the line is $\frac{3}{2}$

What is slope of a line ?

The change in y co-ordinate with respect to the change of x co-ordinate of a line is called the slope of the line.

Slope of a line is denoted by "m"

If two points on the line are $(x_{1},y_{1})$ & $(x_{2} ,y_{2})$, then m = $\frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

What is the required slope ?

From the given graph, We take to points (2, 3) & (4, 6)

Now, Slope (m) = $\frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

                         = $\frac{6-3}{4-2}$

                         = $\frac{3}{2}$

The slope =  $\frac{3}{2}$
