formula:
72-V1
m
X2 - X
The slope of the line is
_____m/s.

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

The graph of a line which represents position (m) at time (s).

To find:

The slope of the line.

Solution:

Formula for slope:

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

From the given graph it is clear that the line passes through two points (0,0) and (1,4).

Using the above formula, we get

`m=(4-0)/(1-0)`

`m=(4)/(1)`

`m=4`

Therefore, the slope of the line is 4 m/s.
