Question

Look at this graph: 50 60 70 80 90 100 What is the slope? Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or int

Answer 1

By the graph we can calculate the slope using two points given, like:

(0, 50) (90, 80)

Slope is given by the expression:

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(80-50)/(90-0)=(30)/(90) \\ m=(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`

The slope is 1/3
