Question

Which IS the best estimate of the slope of this graph?

Answer 1

3/4

Explanation:

A (2,0)

B (6,3)

slope = (3-0)/(6-2)

3/4

Answer 2

slope =
`(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 3) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(3-0)/(6-2)` =
`(3)/(4)`
