Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

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

m=(5-(-1))/(1-(-1))

m=6/2

m=3

3 is option D

Answer 2

Hey there! :)

Answer:

D. m = 3.

Explanation:

Use the slope formula:

`m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

Use the two points given and plug them into the equation:

`m = (5-(-1))/(1-(-1))`

Simplify:

`m = (6)/(2) \\\\m= 3`

Therefore, the slope of the line is D. m = 3.
