Answer 1

To determine the slope of a graphed line you have to use the following formula:

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

Where

(x₁,y₁) are the coordinates of one point on the line

(x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of another point of the line

So the first step is to identify two points of the line, for example, the points (2,6) and (0,-2)

You can use (x₁,y₁) → (2,6) and (x₂,y₂) → (0,-2), replace the coordinates on the formula:

`\begin{gathered} m=(6-(-2))/(2-0) \\ m=(6+2)/(2) \\ m=(8)/(2) \\ m=4 \end{gathered}`

The slope of the line is m=4
