  • Reading a coordinate plane
  • Coordinates (x, y)
  • Slope Formula:
    \displaystyle m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (-8, 0)

Point (7, 3)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

  1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:
    \displaystyle m = (3-0)/(7--8)
  2. [Fraction] Subtract:
    \displaystyle m = (3)/(15)
  3. [Fraction] Simplify:
    \displaystyle m = (1)/(5)

Answer:

1/5

Explanation:

We can find the slope of a line given two points by using the following

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 3-0)/(7 - -8)

= ( 3-0)/(7+8)

= 3/15

= 1/5
