Question

Given the following graph what is the slope?

Answer 1

slope =
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(2-1)/(0-(-4))` =
`(1)/(0+4)` =
`(1)/(4)`
