The slope of the line in the graph is 1/2

How to find the slope of the line?

If a line passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope of the line is:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Here we can see the points (1, 1) and (3, 2) in the graph, so the slope of this line will be:

a = (2 - 1)/(3 - 1)

a = 1/2
