Question

the graph shows how the number of feet of water in a small pond changes as the pond is being filled , what is the slope of the line ?

Answer 1

Option (2).
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Slope of a line passing through two points
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` is given by,

m =
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

From the graph attached,

Straight line given in the graph passes through two points (0, 0) and (2, 1).

Therefore, slope of the line given in the graph will be,

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

=
`(1)/(2)`

Option (2).
`(1)/(2)` will be the answer.
