Question

What is the slope of this line?
A. −5
B. 5
C. −15
D. 15
Picture Down Below

Answer 1

Answer: the answer is not included in the options

Explanation:

The slope of the line can be depicted by the following formulas: 1. Rise/run 2. Y1-y2/ x1-x2

If we were to use the second formula and “plug” in numbers for the variables, the slope we calculate is less than 1

Answer 2

It seems that the slope of this line is 1/5, yet none of the answers correspond to this. Double-check by finding two points on the line, and use the slope formula: (y2-y1/x2-x1). Also, remember that slope is rise/over run. I hope this can guide you!
