Question

What is the slope of the line on the graph?



Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

To find the slope,we can use the slope formula:

`(y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)`
Where x and y are y coordinates and x coordinates respectively.

To find the answer, put any two points into the formula.

In this case, (1,5) and (0,-1) will be used:

x1 and y1 would be the x and y coordinate in the first point(1,5), while x2 and y2 would be the x and y coordinate in the first point (0,-1)


`(5 - ( - 1))/( 1- 0) \\ = (5 + 1)/(1) \\ = ( 6)/(1) \\ = 6`
Therefore the answer is 6.

Hope it helps!
