Question

Referring to the figure, find the slope of the line shown.

Answer 1

slope = 2

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(2-0)/(0-(-1))` =
`(2)/(0+1)` =
`(2)/(1)` = 2
