Answer: 6 units
Explanation:
There are two ways to do this. You can either choose 2 points on the graph and find the rise/run, or you can plug them in the formula. Let's choose the two points that are dotted. (1,5) and (0,-1)
Let's first do rise/run.
From (0,-1) to (1,5) the rise is 6 units, and the run is 1 unit. So we just divide that. 6/1 which means the slope is 6 units.
We can also use the formula: m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
(0,-1) will be our first coordinate and (0,-1) will be our second coordinate. So 0 is x1 and -1 is y1, 1 will be x2 and 5 will be y2. Now we just plug in the numbers
m=5-(-1)/1-0
m=5+1/1-0
m=6/1
m=6 units
So in both ways we get that the slope is 6 units.
