Question

What is the slope of the line that represents Function H? Show or explain how you got your answer

Answer 1

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is given by

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

we need two points

looking at the graph

we take

(-2,-5) and (4,4)

substitute in the formula

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{4-(-5)}{4-(-2)}=\frac{4+5}{4+2}=\frac{9}{6} \\ simplify \\ m=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

The slope is 3/2
