Question

Calculate the slope of the line in the graphs and show your work

calculate the slope of a line that passes through (1,4) and (5,8)

Answer 1

7.a) 5

7.b) 1/2

8. 1

Explanation:

7.

a)

Read the points on the graph (0, 0) and (1, 5).

slope = (5 - 0)/(1 - 0) = 5/1 = 5

b)

read the points on the graph (0, 0) and (4, 2).

slope = (2 - 0)/(4 - 0) = 2/4 = 1/2

8.

Points (1, 4) and (5, 8)

slope = (8 - 4)/(5 - 1) = 4/4 = 1
