Question

Which number best represents the slope of the graphed line?

A graph is a line that extends from third quadrant to first quadrant through left parenthesis negative 8, 0 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 0, 4 right parenthesis.

Answer 1

To determine the slope of the graphed line, we can use the formula:

Slope (m) = (change in y) / (change in x)

Given the points (-8, 0) and (0, 4), the change in y is 4 - 0 = 4, and the change in x is 0 - (-8) = 8.

So, the slope of the graphed line is 4/8, which simplifies to 1/2. Therefore, the number that best represents the slope of the line is 1/2.
