Question

Q. Find the slope of the line.​

Answer 1

Slope = 0.5

Explanation:

The two points are: (2, 1) and (0, 0)

Slope = (1 - 0) / (2 - 0) = 0.5

Slope = 0.5

Answer 2

`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

To find the slope, we can use the formula
`m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

We are going to need two points in order to use the formula

Looking at the graph I will choose the two highlighted points: (0,0) and (2,1)

I will use (0,0) as the (x₁, y₁) and (2,1) as (x₂, y₂)

Plugging these values into the formula we get
`m = (1-0)/(2-0) =(1)/(2)`

So the slope is
`(1)/(2)`
