Question

Graph the line that has an x-intercept of (-1,0) and a y-intercept of (0,5). What is the slope of this line?

Answer 1

The slope is 5.

Explanation:

To solve this, you could have plotted the two points, drew a line between them, and then calculated the slope by counting on the graph the line's rise/run.

To slove this by finding the slope with the points:

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

The slope is 5
