Question

If a line goes through the following two points: (0,0) and (2,1), the slope of the line is:

A. 3
B. -2
C. 1/2
D. -1/2

Answer 1

Answer: C. 1/2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: m = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: Let's use the graphing method.

To find the slope of the line using the graphing method,

we first set up a coordinate system.

Next, we plot our two points, (0, 0), which we label point A, and (2, 1),

which we label point B, and we graph our line, as shown below.

Now just graph the line through the two points.

Now, remember that the slope, or m, is equal to the

rise over run from point A to point B.

To get from point A to point B, we rise 1 unit and run 2 units.

So our slope, or rise over run, is 1/2.
