Question

What is the slope of the line on the graph?

4
2
χ
-2
2
2
-4

Answer 1

`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

To find the slope of the graph, we use the expression below;

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

We pick two points; (-2, 1) and (4, 4)

x₁ = -2,

y₁ = 1

x₂ = 4

y₂ = 4

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Slope =
`(4-1)/(4- (-2))` =
`(1)/(2)`
