Question

What is the slope of the line?

5
-5
1/5
-1/5

Answer 1

`(1)/(5)`

Explanation:

→The slope of the line given on the graph is
`(1)/(5)`.

→You can tell because following the rise over run, the line goes up 1 unit, then to the right, 5 units.

→Since it is going to the right, it stays positive. However, if it were to go left, the 5 would be negative.

Answer 2

Answer: Slope is 1/5

Explanation:

Slope, m is expressed as

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

From the graph given, we would pick points for y2 and a corresponding x1 and also pick y1 and a corresponding x1

y2 = 4

y 1 = 3

x2 = 5

x1 = 0

Slope = (4-3)/(5-0) = 1/5
