Question

Find the slope of the line on the graph. Write your answer as a fraction or a whole number, not a mixed number or decimal.

Answer 1

The slope is 2/3

The rise from one point to another is 2, and the run is 3 and since slope is rise/run, the slope is 2/3

Answer 2

Answer: The slope of the line is:
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

The slope can be calculated with this formula:

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

You need to choose two points of the line. You can pick the point (6,2) and the point (-6,-6)

You can identify that:

`y_2=-6\\y_1=2\\x_2=-6\\x_1=6`

Now, you must substitute these values into the formula:

`m=(-6-2)/(-6-6)`

With this procedure you get that the the slope of the line on the graph is:

`m=(-8)/(-12)`

`m=(2)/(3)`
