Question

What is the slope of the line shown?

Answer 1

Answer: slope =
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Since we are given a graph with clear points, we will use "rise over run" by counting the units between points upwards and rightwards.

Since this line is going up from bottom left to upper right, we have a positive slope.

Starting at (0, -3) we count up one unit and right two units to (2, -2), giving us a slope of
`(1)/(2)`.
