Answer:
The slope of the line is [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] ⇒ B
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the slope of a line using any two points on the line (x1, y1) 1nd (x2, y2) by using this rule [tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
Let us use this rule to answer the question
From the attached graph:
∵ The given line passes through points (-1, -2) and (4, 2)
→ That means point (x1, y1) = (-1, -2) and point (x2, y2) = (4, 2)
∴ x1 = -1 and x2 = 4
∴ y1 = -2 and y2 = 2
→ Substitute their values in the rule of the slope above
∴ [tex]m=\frac{2--2}{4--1}=\frac{2+2}{4+1}=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
∴ The slope of the line is [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
