Respuesta :

the slope is positive 9/7 bc you go up 9 from the first point and 7 to the right

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

The slope of line shown in given graph is [tex]\frac{9}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A graph with an equation of line having two points (1,6) and  (-6, -3)

We have to find the slope of the given line in graph and choose the correct from the given options.

Consider the two points (1,6) and  (-6, -3).

Slope between two points can be calculated using the formula as,

[tex]\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Here, [tex]\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(1,\:6\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-6,\:-3\right)[/tex]

Thus, Slope is

[tex]m=\frac{-3-6}{-6-1}=\frac{9}{7}[/tex]

Thus, The slope of line shown in given graph is [tex]\frac{9}{7}[/tex]
