Question

Find the slope of the line
graphed below.

Answer 1

`(3)/(5)` or 0.6

Explanation:

This problem requires the slop formula which is
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

You start with the first point which is (-1,1). This will be x1 and y1.

The next point is (4,4). This will be x2 and y2.

You plug these values into your equation which gives you
`(4-1)/(4-(-1))`

To solve, you evaluate,
`(4-1)/(4-(-1))` =
`(3)/(5)` or 0.6
