Step-by-step explanation

We are to obtain the slope of the graph

The slope of a graph can be obtained using the formula below


Slope=(rise)/(run)=\frac{change\text{ in y}}{change\text{ in x}}

From the image below

The slope will be


slope=(9-(-6))/(2-(-8))=(9+6)/(2+8)=(15)/(10)

Simplifying further


slope=(15)/(10)=(3)/(2)

Threefore, the slope is 3/2

What is the slope of the line above? A. 3/2B. -3/2C. -2/3D. 2/3-example-1
