What is the slope of the function?
One-fourth
One-half
2
4

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

The graph is:

x y

1/4 2

1/2 4

Slope formula is (y2-y1/x2-x1)

4-2/0.5-0.25

2/0.25

4

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

• 2

Explanation:

The ordered pairs are

• x | y
• 2 | 3
• 5 | 9

The slope is:

• m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
• m = (9 - 3)/(5 - 2)= 6/3 = 2

Answer is 2
