Math Problem Statement
Find the slope of the line graphed below.
Solution
To find the slope of the line graphed in the image, we can use the formula for slope:
Looking at the graph, two clear points on the line are:
- Point 1:
- Point 2:
Now, applying the slope formula:
So, the slope of the line is 1.

- How does a positive slope differ from a negative slope on a graph?
- Can the slope of a line be zero, and what does that mean?
- How do you find the equation of a line given a point and a slope?
Tip: The slope is essentially the "rise over run," showing how much the line goes up (or down) for a unit movement to the right on the x-axis.
