Question

Which number best represents the slope of the graphed line?A. -2B. -1/2C. 1/2D. 2

Answer 1

C. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is defined as

`slope=rise/run`

Now in our case, for every 4 steps we take to the right, we have to go 2 steps upwards. Therefore, run = 4 and rise = 2, and so the slope is

`slope=2/4`

which simplifies to give ( by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2)

`\boxed{slope=1/2.}`

Hence, choice C is the correct answer!
