Question

Is it 1/5 or -8 trying to figure this out for the slope

Answer 1

From the graph it can be observed that line passes through points (0,16) and (2,20).

The formula for the slope of line pasing through points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

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

Determine the slope of line passing through points (0,16) and (2,20).

`\begin{gathered} m=(20-16)/(2-0) \\ =(4)/(2) \\ =2 \end{gathered}`

So slope of line is 2.
