Question

Look at the graph. What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

Answer: B. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the given formula to find the slope. Then, we will solve by substituting two points and simplifying.

`\displaystyle (y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) ) =(8-4)/(4-2)=(4)/(2) =2`

At first glance it may seem like a slope of one, but then we notice that the x-axis and y-axis have different scales. The slope of the line is 2.
