Question

What is the slope of the line shown below

Answer 1

A. 4

`slope \: (m) = (8)/(2) = 4`

Explanation:

Find the slope using the graph

It's an increasing linear function

equation: y= 4x-3

Answer 2

A. 4

Explanation:

1. Use the SLOPE FORMULA: M= rise/run= y2-y1/x2-x1

2. Plug in the two coordinates that were plotted on the equation: (1,1) & (3,9)

3. Label the coordinates

( 1 , 1 ) = ( x1, y1 )& ( 3, 9 ) = ( x2, y2 )

4. SOLVE & PLUG IN

m = 9 - 1 / 3 - 1 = 8 / 2

5. Simplify 8/2 (Divide by 2)

6. answer: 4/1 = 4
