The slope of the linear graph in the question obtained using the ratio of the rise and run of the line is 2.

Recall :

Slope = Rise / Run

From the graph :

Rise = y2 - y1 = 5 - (-1) = 5 + 1 = 6

Run = x2 - x1 = 2 - (-1) = 2 + 1 = 3

The slope of the graph can be expressed thus :

Slope = Rise / Run = 6 /3 = 2

Therefore, the slope of the line in the graph attached is 2

Answer:

slope: 2 as we see, with every increase in x, y increase twice the more.

Explanation:

  • we can can see the y-intercept at 1.
  • so equation: y = 2x + 1
