Question

What is the slope of the line graphed below?

Answer 1

The slope is 2.

Explanation:

Pick any two points on the straight line. Lets take:

(-3,0) and (0,6)

Slope is the Rise/Run. Rise is the change in y and Run is the change in x between these two points:

Rise (6 - 0) = 6

Run = (0 - (-3)) = 3

Rise/Run, or slope, = 6/3 or 2

The slope is 2.

Answer 2

Answer: Slope = 2

Explanation:

slope = rise/run

slope = 2/1

slope = 2
