Math Problem Statement
Determine the slope of the line below.
Solution
To determine the slope of the line from the graph, we need to find two points that the line passes through. From the graph:
- The line passes through the point (the origin).
- The line also passes through the point .
The slope of a line is calculated using the formula: where and are two distinct points on the line. Using the points and :
Thus, the slope of the line is 1.
