Question

Look at this graph: 50 60 70 80 90 100 What is the slope? Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or int

Answer 1

By the graph we can calculate the slope using two points given, like:

(0, 50) (90, 80)

Slope is given by the expression:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{80-50}{90-0}=\frac{30}{90} \\ m=\frac{1}{3} \end{gathered}$

The slope is 1/3
