Question

what is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(5-(-1))/(1-(-1))

m=6/2

m=3

3 is option D

Answer 2

Hey there! :)

Answer:

D. m = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

$m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Use the two points given and plug them into the equation:

$m = \frac{5-(-1)}{1-(-1)}$

Simplify:

$m = \frac{6}{2} \\\\m= 3$

Therefore, the slope of the line is D. m = 3.
