Question

I. What would the slope of a line that is parallel to the line in the graph be?

Answer 1

4/3

Explanation:

When given two points on a straight line, the gradient is given by the formula gradient = (change in y) / (change in x).

The points given are (4, 3) and (1, -1).

First find the difference between the y values:

3 - (-1) = 4

Then find the difference between the x values:

4 - 1 = 3

Substitute back into the equation:

gradient = 4/3.

Answer 2

The slope is 4/3. See image.
