Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

answer B or 1/6 should be right.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is

(B)
`(1)/(6).`

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the slope of the straight line shown in the graph.

From the graph, we see that the line passes through the points (-6, 3) and (12, 6).

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

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

Therefore, the slope of the given line is

`m=(6-3)/(12-(-6))=(3)/(12+6)=(3)/(18)=(1)/(6).`

Thus, the slope of the given line is
`(1)/(6).`

Option (B) is CORRECT.
