Question

Which number best represents the slope of the graphed line? 10 10 -10 ОА ง OB. - oc 1 , OD 2

Answer 1

The slope of the graphed line is 1/2

Here, we want to calculate the slope of the graphed line

To get the slope, we need to use the slope equation

The slope equation needs that we use two points on the line

So, we start with two points on the line

We have this as; (0,4) and (-8,0)

These points are where the line touches the two axes (y-intercept and x-intercept respectively)

Thus;

`\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \\ m\text{ = }(0-4)/(-8-0)\text{ = }(-4)/(-8)\text{ = }(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`
