Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

The slope is D) 4/11.

Answer 2

The slope is given by 4/11.

D is the correct option.

Explanation:

From the given graph, we have two points (-7,2) and (4,6)

In coordinate form, we have

`x_1=-7,y_1=2,x_2=4,y_2=6`

The slope of a line is given by

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

Substituting the known values, we get

`m=(6-2)/(4+7)`

On simplifying, we get

`m=(4)/(11)`

The slope is given by 4/11.

D is the correct option.
