Question

What is the slope of this graph A 1/5 B-1/5 C 5 D -5

Answer 1

Pick 2 points, and use the formula:

slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

let (x₁, y₁) = (5,3)

let (x₂, y₂) = (0,2)

Plug in to corresponding areas

(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) becomes (2 - 3)/(0 - 5)

Simplify

-1/-5, or 1/5

1/5 is your answer

hope this helps

Answer 2

pick 2 sets of points on ur line and find the slope by using the slope formula

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(0,2)...x1 = 0 and y1 = 2
(5,3)...x2 = 5 and y2 = 3
now sub into the formula
slope = (3 - 2) / (5 - 0) = 1/5 <===
