Question

What is the slope of the line shown below (-3,1) (5,1)​

Answer 1

A. 1/4

Explanation:

The line is upwards so slope will be positive. (either A or C will be the answer)

Now to solve for slope to find out

Two coordinate points on graph (-3,-1) ad (5,1)

Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Slope = (1 + 1)/(5 + 3) = 2/8 = 1/4

Answer 2

`A.(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

The slope is the inclination of the line with respect to the abscissa axis, if you know two points it can be calculated using

`m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1))\`

where

`P1(x_(1),y_(1))\\P2(x_(2),y_(2))`

Step 1

put the values into the equation

Let

`P1(-3,-1) \\P2(5,1)\\\\m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) ) \\m=(1-(-1))/(5-(-3) ) \\m=(1+1)/(5+3) \\m=(2)/(8) \\m=(1)/(4)`

Have a great day
