Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?AX10(3,7)1015(-2,-3)ch19A. -5OB. 5C. -2D. 2

Answer 1

Given the graph from the question

We want to find the slope

Solution

From the graph, the major two points are already indicated

i.e.

`(-2,-3)\text{ and (3,7)}`

The formula to find the slope (m) is given as

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Using the indicated coordinates

`\begin{gathered} x_1=-2 \\ y_1=-3 \\ x_2=3 \\ y_2=7 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} m=(7-(-3))/(3-(-2)) \\ m=(7+3)/(3+2) \\ m=(10)/(5) \\ m=2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the slope is 2
