Question

What is the slope of the line shown in the graph

Answer 1

slope =
`(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3) ← 2 points on the line

substitute these values into the formula for m

m =
`(3-0)/(0-(-2))` =
`(3)/(0+2)` =
`(3)/(2)`
