Answer:

6/5

Explanation:

The line passes through the points (-2,-3) and (3,3)

Slope = (3-(-3)) / (3-(-2))

= (3+3) / (3+2)

= 6/5

Solving for the Slope of the Line given the Graph

Answer:


(6)/(5)\\

Explanation:

If you have the points,
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2), on the line, you can solve for its slope. The slope of the is calculated by
m = (y_2 -y_1)/(x_2 -x_1)\\.

In your graph, We can see that the points,
(-2,-3) and
(3,3), are on the line. We can now solve for the slope.


m = (3 -(-3))/(3 -(-2)) \\ m = (3 +3)/(3 +2) \\ m = (6)/(5)

The slope of the line given by your graph is
(6)/(5)\\.
