Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

Slope is equal to rise/run or change in y divided by change in x. In this case, The rise is 6 and the run is 3, so 6/3, and that is equal to b)2

Answer 2

Answer: B. 2

Explanation:

The slope of a line passing through two points A(a,b) and B(c,d) is given by:_

`m=(d-b)/(c-a)`

From the given graph , it can be seen that the line is passing from (2,2) and (-1,-4)

Then , the slope of the line passing through the points (2,2) and (-1,-4) will be :_

`m=(-4-2)/(-1-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=(-6)/(-3)=2`

Hence, the slope of the given line =2
