Question

For the line above, what is the slope? *

Answer 1

The slope is 2.

Explanation:

The points on the line are (1, -2) which can be labeled as x1 and y1, and the other is (3,2) which can be labeled as x2 and y2. you set up the equation in the slope formula, so 2 - - 2 / 3 - 1. Since there are two negatives, the subtraction signs turn into addition signs, and you get 4/2, which simplyfied is 2. Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer: The slope is 2.

Explanation:

To get the slope, use this tip: Rise over run

Count how much it rises, which is 4, and how much it "runs' which is 2. Now put rise above run which is 4/2. This simplifies to simply 2.
