Question

Can you please solve this practice problem for me I really need assistance.

Answer 1

The slope of a straight line is given by the following expression:

`m=\frac{change\text{ in y }}{change\text{ in x}}=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)`

By looking at the graph we have two locate two pairs of coordinates: Coordinate 1 (2,0) Coordinate 2 (-4,0).

Now we replace on the slope formula, having:

`\begin{gathered} m=(0-0)/(2-(-4)) \\ m=0 \end{gathered}`

Pair of coordinates, coordinate 1 (2,0) coordinate 2 (3,2)

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