Question

What is the slope of the line shown on the graph?

Answer 1

slope =
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 0) ← 2 points on the line

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

Answer 2

Answer: 2/4

Explanation:

Rise=2

Run=4

Rise/Run(2/4)
