Question

Look at this graph: у 10 9 8 7 6 5 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 What is the slope?

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

As we can see in the graph, we can calculate the slope with the following equation:

`\text{Slope}=((y_2-y_1))/((x_2-x_1))`

Let's consider any ordered pair, as (x1,y1)=(1,7) and (x2,y2)=(5,8), replacing this in the equation will give us:

`\text{Slope}=\frac{(8-7)_{}}{(5-1)}=(1)/(4)`

Answer: the slope is equal to 1/4.
