Question

What is the slope of this graph

Answer 1

Slope, m = 5

Explanation:

Picking points on the x-axis and y-axis of the graph;

Point on x-axis (x1, x2) = 2, 4

Points on the y-axis (y1, y2) = 10, 20

To find the slope;

Mathematically, slope is given by the formula;

`Slope = (Change \; in \; y \; axis)/(Change \; in \; x \; axis)`

`Slope, m = \frac {y_(2) - y_(1)}{x_(2) - x_(1)}`

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`Slope, m = \frac {20 - 10}{4 - 2}`

`Slope, m = \frac {10}{2}`

Slope, m = 5
