Question

What is the slope of the line segment?

answer choices
1/4
1/4
4
–4

Answer 1

To find the slope you need to see how many times you need to go up therefore on this line segment it’s going by fours so you go up 4 over 1 so the answer would be 4

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

To find the slope we can use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

We know two points (0,0) and ( 1,4)

m = ( 4-0)/(1-0)

= 4/1
