Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 9) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(9-(-5))/(6-0)` =
`(9+5)/(6)` =
`(14)/(6)` =
`(7)/(3)`

Answer 2

7/3

Explanation:

-5-9/0-6

-13/-6= 2.167777

y2-y1/x2-x1
