Question

{Algebra 1}

Find the slope of the line graphed below:

Answer 1

$\text {Slope = } \dfrac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}$

-

2 coordinates on the graph : (-3, 2) , (1, 4)

$\text {Slope = } \dfrac{4 - 2}{1 - (-3)} = \dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

-

Answer: Slope = 1/2

Answer 2

Since m (slope) = y2-y1/x2-x1 , by substituting the coordinates of the points we would get -2/-4 which is equivalent to 1/2
