Question

Look at this graph: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 O 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 What is the slope? X 10​

Answer 1

2
Slope in its simplest terms is defined as change in height divided by change in length
if we take point 1 as (8,0)
Point 2 as (9,2) from the graph
The change in height (y) is 2-0=2
The change in length (x) is 9-8=1
2/1 =2

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

Start at the bottom of the graph. It starts at (8,0). From that point go up 2 and one to the right. You will be back on the line at the point (9,2)

Slope is your rise over your run. 2/1 = 2
