Question

The graph represents one side of the roof of a building.
The slope of the line is

Answer 1

the answer is 7/2

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope of the line is 7/2.

Explanation:

If a line passes through two points
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`, then the slope of the line is

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

From the given figure it is clear that the line passes though two points (0,0) and (4,14).

Using the above formula, the slope of the line is

`m=(14-0)/(4-0)`

`m=(14)/(4)`

`m=(7)/(2)`

Therefore the slope of the line is 7/2.
