Transcript text: Find the slope of the line graphed below.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify two points on the line.
Two points on the line are (0.5,−1) and (2.5,4).
Step 2: Calculate the slope.
The slope m of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by
m=x2−x1y2−y1.
Using the points (0.5,−1) and (2.5,4), we have
m=2.5−0.54−(−1)=25.
