Question

What is the slope of this line?

Answer 1

slope m = 2

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 4) ← 2 points on the line

substitute these values into the formula for m

m =
`(4-0)/(2-0)` =
`(4)/(2)` = 2
