Question

Can someone please help me find the slope on khan academy? and please provide an explanation if possible

​

Answer 1

`(7)/(4)x`

Explanation:

How do you find slope on a graph? The slope is "rise/run" where "rise" is how much y spaces are moved to the next point and "run" is the how much spaces are moved to the next x point.

Step One: In this case, the point moves up 7 spaces to the next point, so that's the "rise" and then it moves 4 spaces to the right to the next point, so that's the "run"

Step Two: When we put it together, it is 7/4x. The x is just an indication that this is slope, and you don't have to worry about it until you learn how to plug it in.

Answer 2

Answer: 7/4

Step-by-step explanation: To find the slope of a line, pick any two integer points, in this scenario the only two are (3,4) and (-1,-3). The slope is the rise over run, so think about it. To get from (-1,-3) to )3,4) you need to rise 7 units (difference in y coordinates) and from there you need to run 4 units, so it is 7/4. Keep in mind that rising up is positive for y and running to the right is positive for x.
