Question

What’s the slope? And can you please explain I don’t get it

Answer 1

The slope is 3.

Explanation:

The way to find the slope is to find how many blocks/number it went up and to the side. The number of blocks it went up on the y-axis, in this case, is 3 and it went along the x-axis once. In order to actually find the slope, you need to put the y over the x. So, 3/1 is equal to three, so the slope of this line is 3

Answer 2

As we can see, the line crosses the x-axis at (-2, 0). If we climb three units up from -2 and then go one unit to the right, we arrive at the next point on the line.

Since we climbed three points and went to the right one point, our slope = 3/1. But, we can reduce that.

Slope = 3/1 = 3
