Answer 1

Answer:

-Coordinate Plane B

Explanation:

  The slope of a line is determined using m = rise/run. Rise is equal to $y_{2} -y_{1}$. Now, substituting the y values from graph B into that equation you get $y_{2}$ = 5 and $y_{1}$ = 1. The x values are 4 as $x_{2}$ and -1 as $x_{1}$. Given these values, m = $\frac{5-1}{4-(-1)}$ or $\frac{4}{5}$.
