Question

What is the slope of line segment EF?
A. 1/3
B. 3/2
C. 2/3
D. -3/2

Answer 1

It would be B.) because from point "e" you go up 3 right 2

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (B) $\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used for slope is:

$m=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}$

where,

m = slope

$x_1$ and $x_2$ are the coordinates of x-axis

$y_1$ and $y_2$ are the coordinates of y-axis

From the graph we conclude that:

$x_1$ and $x_2$ are (-2) and (2) respectively.

$y_1$ and $y_2$ are (-4) and (2) respectively.

Now put all the given values in the above formula of slope, we get:

$m=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}$

$m=\frac{(2-(-4))}{(2-(-2))}$

$m=\frac{(2+4)}{(2+2)}$

$m=\frac{6}{4}$

$m=\frac{3}{2}$

Therefore, the slope of line segment EF is, $\frac{3}{2}$
