Question

Finding the slope (simplest form) ​

Answer 1

The slope is 3.

Explanation:

Slope is equal to rise over run. Let’s take a look at the points given to us on the graph.

To go from the leftmost point to the rightmost point, we rise (go up) 6 units, and then we run over (go right) 2 units. So we have:

Slope = Rise/run = 6/2

Now 6/2 is equal to 3, and that’s the slope.

Answer 2

m=3, y = 3x - 2

Explanation:

slope = rise / run

slope = 6/2

slope = 3
