Answer:
7. a) slope = 5
7. b) slope = 1/2
8. slope = 1
Explanation:
slope = rise/run
rise is the vertical change, run is the horizontal change
7. a)
Pick any two points on your line. (0,0) and (1,5) are easy to work with.
The vertical change between the two points is 5
The horizontal change between those points is 1
so slope = 5/1 = 5
7. b)
Again, you can use (0,0) as one of your points. The point (2,4) is good as the second.
slope = 4/2 = 1/2
8. We don't have a graph, but we are given two points to work with, (1,4) and (5,8). Use the formula given...
m = slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
= (8 - 4) / (5 - 1)
= 4/4
= 1
I hope that helped!
