Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

correct option is B) 2

Explanation:

Slope of line is calculated by formula :-

Suppose two points on line are
`(x_1, y_1) and (x_2 ,y_2)` then slope 'm' is
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`.

We can see two points on line of graph are :- (-1, -4) and (2,2)

then slope will be calculated as,

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

since
`x_1 = -1, x_2 =2, y_1=-4\;and\; y_2=2`

now, put in formula

`m=(2-(-4))/(2-(-1))`

`m=(2+4)/(2+1)`

`m=(6)/(3)`

`m=2`

Hence, slope is 2 of the provided graph.

Therefore, correct option is B) 2
