Question

Find the slope of the line graphed below.

Answer 1

Given:

The graph of a line.

To find:

The slope of the graphed line.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the line passes through the points (-2,2) and (2,5). So, the slope of the line is:

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

`m=(5-2)/(2-(-2))`

`m=(3)/(2+2)`

`m=(3)/(4)`

Therefore, the slope of the given graphed line is
`m=(3)/(4)`.
