Question

Find the slope of the line graphed. A)1/2 B)1 C)2 D)4

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

To find this you would just look at two points that the line will cross. The 2 pairs or coordinates that are the most obvious to me are (0,-2) and (1,0) so then we would do an equation that is
`y_(2)` (which is the second y in this case 0) minus
`y_(1)`(First y in this case -2) over or /
`x_(2)`(second x in this case 1) minus
`x_(1)`(first x in this case 0) so when we plug in into the equation is is
`(0-(-2))/(1-0)` which will be simplified to
`(2)/(1)` so the slope would be 2.

Another simpler way to solve this is to is just to count the distance between the 2 slopes so we would go up 2 to get to 0 and over 1 which would be
`(2)/(1)` or 2.

Answer 2

Slope is 2. Y-intercept is -2

Explanation:

To find slope look how many it goes up and right. So 2 up and 1 right will give a slope of 2. The y-intercept is -2 because it touches the y-axis.
