Question

What is the slope of this line

Answer 1

`\large\boxed{slope=(4)/(5)}`

Explanation:

`\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\the\ picture\ \#1\\\\slope=(rise)/(run)\\\\\text{We have}\ rise=4,\ run=5.\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\slope=(4)/(5)`

`\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\the\ picture\ \#2\\\\\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\\text{From the graph we have the points}\ (-2,\ 0)\ \text{and}\ (3,\ 4).\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\m=(4-0)/(3-(-2))=(4)/(5)`

Answer 2

The slope of the line would be 4/5 because it is going up 4 units (positive) and going to the right (positive) 5 units
