Question

Find the slope of the following graph and enter your result in the empty box.

Answer 1

The slope of the following graph is:

`m=3`

Explanation:

Given the line on the graph

Taking two points

• (40, 20)

• (50, 50)

Finding the slope between the points (40, 20) and (50, 50)

`\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(40,\:20\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(50,\:50\right)`

`m=(50-20)/(50-40)`

`m=3`

Thus, the slope of the following graph is:

`m=3`
