Question

What is the slope of the line in the graph?A. 8B. 1/8C. 1/4 D. 4

Answer 1

The slope of a line graph can be found using the formula:

`\begin{gathered} slope\text{ = }\frac{y_2-\text{ y}_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ Where\text{ \lparen x}_1,y_1)\text{ and \lparen x}_2,y_2)\text{ are two points on the line} \end{gathered}`

From the graph, we have the points (0,0) and (8, 2)

Substituting the values into the formula:

`\begin{gathered} slope\text{ = }(2-0)/(8-0) \\ =\text{ }(2)/(8) \\ =\text{ }(1)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Answer:

slope = 1/4 (Option C)
