Question

What is the slope of the line segment?

A graph is shown. The values on the x axis are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The values on the y axis are 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25. A straight line joining the ordered pairs 0, 0 and 1, 5 and 2, 10 and 3, 15

5
1 over 5
negative 1 over 5
−5

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

divide the change in y by the change in y

you can use two different points for example 1,5 and 3,15

the change in y between these points is 10, the change in x is 2

10/2=5

also since the values of x increase constantly by 1 and it's a continuous line (meaning the domain could be any number between 1 and 3 in this graph) you can calculate only the change in y and that will give you the slope
