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

apologies the answer's 3. I didn't realize it was talking about slope.

Explanation:

Use Rise/Run and "b" is just the y intercept, which is the point where the line intersects the y-axis, in this case b=2. Hope this helped.

Answer 2

Answer: The slope is 3.

Step-by-step explanation: The line crosses the grid at (-1,-1), (0,2) and (1,5)

Subtract the y-values to find the rise. 5-2=3 . 2-(-1)=3

The rise is 3.

Subtract the x-values to find the run. 1-0=1 0-(-1)=1

The run is 1

rise/run is the slope

3/1 is the slope.

We usually leave out the denominator if it is 1.
