Question

What is the slope of the graph?

Answer 1

Since m in y=mx+b is rise over run, then y = 24x, or the slope is 24

Answer 2

`\displaystyle m=24`

• Reading a Cartesian plane
• Coordinates (x, y)
• Slope Formula:
  `\displaystyle m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (0, 0)

Point (0.5, 12)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:
   `\displaystyle m=(12-0)/(0.5-0)`
2. [Fraction] Subtract:
   `\displaystyle m=(12)/(0.5)`
3. [Fraction] Divide:
   `\displaystyle m=24`
