Question

What is the slope of the line below? * A. y = 3x - 10B. y = 2x + 2C. y = -x + 2D. None of the above

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

SLope is also = rise / run

from the two red points rise = 6 run = 2

6/2 = 3 = m = slope

Answer 2

Apply the slope formula.

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Where:

(x1,y1) = (3,-1)

(x2,y2)= (5,5)

Replacing:

`m=(5-(-1))/(5-3)`
`m=(5+1)/(5-3)=(6)/(2)=3`

The only option that has a slope =3

A. y=3x-10
