Rise over run, so 2/6. This can be simplified to 1/3. Hope this helps!

Answer: The SLOPE of the graphed line is
(1)/(3).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the slope of the graphed line in the figure.

From the graph, we note that

the line passes through the points (0, 2) and (6, 4).

We know that

the slope of a straight line passing through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by


m=(d-b)/(c-a).

Therefore, the slope of the graphed line is given by


m=(4-2)/(6-0)=(2)/(6)=(1)/(3).

Thus, the SLOPE of the graphed line is
(1)/(3).
