Question

What is the slope of the line segment? A graph is shown. The values on the x axis are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The values on the y axis are 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20. A straight line joining the ordered pairs 0, 0 and 1, 4 and 2, 8 and 3, 12 and 4, 16.

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

The coordinates are: A(0,0), B(1,4), C(2,8), D(3,12), E(4,16)

Using coordinates B and D, slope = (12 - 4)/(3 - 1) = 8/2

∴ slope = 4
