Question

What is the slope of the shown below?

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 9) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(9-1)/(3-1)` =
`(8)/(2)` = 4 → B

Answer 2

B. 4

Explanation:

The formula of a slope:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We have the points (1, 1) and (3, 9). Substitute:

`m=(9-1)/(3-1)=(8)/(2)=4`
