Question

nd the slope of the following graph and write your result in the empty box.01987654

Answer 1

In your graphic, you can choose some points: A(5,9) and B(3,5).

To find the slope, you have to divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points.

$\text{slope = }\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

Using the 2 points:

$\text{slope = (9-5)/(5-3)}$$\begin{gathered} \text{slope = 4/2} \\ \text{slope = 2} \\ \end{gathered}$
