Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

1
O A
3
O B. -3
O C. 3
O D.

Answer 1

c 3

Explanation:

put the rise (change in y) over run (change in x)

find the difference between the y points: 2 and 8

8 minus 2 is 6, so that's your rise

then find the difference between your x points: 2 and 4

4 minus 2 is 2, so that's your run

rise / run = 6/2, which simplified is just 3
