Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

5
-4
O A.-4.
OB.
(5.1)
4
(-3,-1)
O C. 4.
OD.

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

We can first eliminate options A and B because they are both negative slopes and the graph shown is an increasing slope, meaning the answer is positive.

Next, we calculate the slope with the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) to get 1/4.

1/4 is the slope.
