Question

         : find the slope of each line. Write your answer in simples from!

Answer 1

5) slope = 5/3

6) slope = -3

Explanation:

we pick any two points to find the slope

slope formula:

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

On the graphs, the indicated points are the points in black dot.

And the unit of the graph is asummed to be 1 unit per square.

5) In number 5, we have point (2, 0) and (5, 5)

$x_1=2,y_1=0,x_2=5,y_2\text{ = }5$

slope = (5 - 0)/(5 -2)

slope = 5/3

6) The indicated points: (-2, 3) and (-1, 0)

$x_1=-2,y_1=3,x_2=-1,y_2\text{ = }0$

slope = (0 - 3)/(-1 -(-2))

Slope = -3/(-1+2)

Slope = -3/1

slope = -3
