Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?10(5, 11)O A.5B.ס |U1015*(-5, -1)-5HHHHHHOC.OD.-10SUBMIT

Answer 1

The slope of a line is given by the formula

`m=\frac{y_2-y_1_{}}{x_2-x_,}`

Here,

`(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)`

are two points on a line.

From the graph we have two points on the line, those are

`(-5,-1),\text{ (}5,11).`

Substitute

`x_1=-5,y_1=-1,x_2=5,y_2=11`

in the formula:

`\begin{gathered} m=(11-(-1))/(5-(-5)) \\ =(11+1)/(5+5) \\ =(12)/(10) \\ =(6)/(5) \end{gathered}`

So, the slope is 6/5.

The correct option is C.
