Answer 1

Answer: Benito:On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points

(0, negative 1) and (1, 2).

Answer 2

Benito's line has a slope of three

Explanation:

Slope can be determined by the rate of change. Because Benito's first point is 0,1 that means that x = 0 and y = -1. Benito's second point is 1,2 which means that x = 1 and y = 2. To determine the slope, you need to look at the change of y. We can see that y=-1 in the first point, and y=2 in the second point. This is an increase of three, which means that Benito's line has a slope of three.
