Question

What is the slope of the line below? * A. y = 3x - 10B. y = 2x + 2C. y = -x + 2D. None of the above

Answer 1

Apply the slope formula.

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Where:

(x1,y1) = (3,-1)

(x2,y2)= (5,5)

Replacing:

$m=\frac{5-(-1)}{5-3}$$m=\frac{5+1}{5-3}=\frac{6}{2}=3$

The only option that has a slope =3

A. y=3x-10
