Question

Find the slope of the line on the graph.

Write your answer as a fraction or a whole
number, not a mixed number or decimal.

Answer 1

The slope = 1.

Explanation:

If we count squares down for the top arrow then left to the point where the line cuts the horizontal axis we get 10 and 10.

So the slope = 10/10 = 1.

Answer 2

1

Explanation:

divide vertical drop by horizontal drop

or vertical increase by horizontal increase

for example, in the graph when y increases by 1 x increases by 1

1/1=1 and thus the gradient is 1

the whole equation is y=x+3
