Question

{Algebra 1}

Find the slope of the line graphed below:

Answer 1

Since m (slope) = y2-y1/x2-x1 , by substituting the coordinates of the points we would get -2/-4 which is equivalent to 1/2

Answer 2

`\text {Slope = } (Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)`

-

2 coordinates on the graph : (-3, 2) , (1, 4)

`\text {Slope = } (4 - 2)/(1 - (-3)) = (2)/(4) = (1)/(2)`

-

Answer: Slope = 1/2
