I'm assuming problem 6 is the graph on the right.

If so, then the slope is 1/2

Start at a point like (0,-1) which is the y intercept. Move up 1 and to the right 2 to arrive at (2,0) which is the x intercept.

The movement pattern "up 1, right 2" determines the slope directly

slope = rise/run = 1/2

rise = 1 = go up 1

run = 2 = go to the right 2

------------------------------

You could also pick two points from the blue line, then use the slope formula. If we picked (0,-1) and (2,0), then

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (0-(-1))/(2-0)

m = (0+1)/(2-0)

m = 1/2
