Question

What is the slope of each line? Line A: y = one-half x minus 4 Line B: y = 2 x minus 3 The slope of line A Equals one-half. The slope of line B Equals 2. The slope of line A Equals negative 4. The slope of line B Equals negative 3. The slope of line A Equals negative one-half. The slope of line B Equals negative 2. The slope of line A Equals negative 3. The slope of line B Equals negative 4.

Answer 1

A.

Explanation:

I took the quiz

Answer 2

The slope of line A equals one-half. The slope of line B equals 2.

Explanation:

The equation of Line A is given by :
`y = (1)/(2) x - 4` ........... (1)

The equation of Line B is given by : y = 2x - 3 ............. (2)

Those two equations are in slope-intercept form i.e. y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line.

Now, the slope of line A equals one-half. The slope of line B equals 2.

Therefore, option 1 will be correct. (Answer)
