Question

Which is the slope of the line shown? )

Answer 1

slope =
`(9)/(7)`

Explanation:

to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1,6) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(6+3)/(1+6)` =
`(9)/(7)`

Answer 2

To find slope you use the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
Plug in the values from the graph.
(6-(-3))/1-(-6))
Simplify: 9/7
