Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

Answer:

correct option is B) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line is calculated by formula :-

Suppose two points on line are $(x_1, y_1) and (x_2 ,y_2)$ then slope 'm' is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$.

We can see two points on line of graph are :- (-1, -4) and (2,2)

then slope will be calculated as,

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

since $x_1 = -1, x_2 =2, y_1=-4\;and\; y_2=2$

now, put in formula

$m=\frac{2-(-4)}{2-(-1)}$

$m=\frac{2+4}{2+1}$

$m=\frac{6}{3}$

$m=2$

Hence, slope is 2 of the provided graph.

Therefore, correct option is B) 2
