Question

Which linear function represents a slope of 1/4

Answer 1

It is the second one on Ed, I just took the assignment

Answer 2

ANSWER

The correct answer is B.


Step-by-step explanation

We use the formula for finding the slope of a straight line which is given by


`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`
to find the slope each table or graph.



From the first table, the slope can be calculated using

`(3,-11) \: and \: (6,1)`


`m = (1 - - 11)/(6 - 3) = 4`


From option B, the slope can be calculated using

`(8,5) \: and \: (0,3)`



`m = (5- 3)/(8 - 0) = (1)/(4)`

From the third option, we can calculate the slope using

`(-5,32) \: and \: (-1,24)`


`m = (32 - 24)/( - 5 - - 1) = - (3)/(2)`


We can calculate the slope of the last option using

`(2,0) \: and \: (3,4)`

`m = (4 - 0)/(3 - 2) = 4`


Therefore the correct answer is B.
