Question

What is the slope of the line?


1
-1
-1/3
1/3

Answer 1

m = 1

Step-by-step explanation

Simple Method: Rise (go up) over Run (go left or right)

Start from a perfect point then rise and run.

Rise: 3, Run: 3 = 3/3 = 1

Alternatively, you could pick two points and use the formula y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Just as an example, I will choose (-2, -3) and (2, 1)

plug in:

1 + 3/2 + 2 = 4/4 = 1

Answer 2

1

Step-by-step explanation

The slope of the given line is obtained using the formula:

`m = (rise)/(run)`

From the diagram the rise is 2 units and the run is 2 units.

This implies that,

`m = (2)/(2) = 1`

Hence the slope of the given line is 1.
