Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?AX10(3,7)1015(-2,-3)ch19A. -5OB. 5C. -2D. 2

Answer 1

Given the graph from the question

We want to find the slope

Solution

From the graph, the major two points are already indicated

i.e.

$(-2,-3)\text{ and (3,7)}$

The formula to find the slope (m) is given as

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

Using the indicated coordinates

$\begin{gathered} x_1=-2 \\ y_1=-3 \\ x_2=3 \\ y_2=7 \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{7-(-3)}{3-(-2)} \\ m=\frac{7+3}{3+2} \\ m=\frac{10}{5} \\ m=2 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the slope is 2
