Question

1. The graph of f(x) is shown on the coordinate grid below. What is the slope of f(x).

Answer 1

The slope of the line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is computed as follows:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

From the graph, f(x) passes through the points (0, 4) and (2, 1), then its slope is:

`m=(1-4)/(2-0)=-(3)/(2)`
