Question

What is the slope (rate of change) of the line in the graph show below? (1 point) –2 –1 1 2

Answer 1

The slope of the line is 1

Using the points given;

• (-2, -1) and (1, 2)

The slope of the line is :

• Rise / Run

The Rise is (2 - (-1)) = 3

The Run is (1 - (-2)) = 3

Now we can express the slope has ;

• Rise/ Run = 3/3 = 1

The slope of the line is 1.
