Question

State the slope of the line in simplest form

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's solve with the slope formula:

`(y2)/(x2) -(y1)/(x1)=m`

m represents the slope.

Take 2 points from the line:

• (0, -2)
• (3, 3)

Substitute the points into the formula:

`(3)/(3) -(-2)/(0) =m`

Solve:

`(5)/(3)=m`

The slope equals 5/3.

Answer 2

5/3

Explanation:
Slope is change in y over change in x. Let’s measure the slope from (0,-2) to (3,3)

From -2 to 3 the change in y is 5.
From 0 to 3 the change in x is 3.
Now we do change in y over change in x, or rise over run!
5/3 is your slope.
