Math Problem Statement

Find the slope of the line graphed below.

Solution

To find the slope of the line graphed in the image, we need to use the formula for the slope of a line, which is:

slope=riserun=y2y1x2x1\text{slope} = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

From the image, we can identify two points on the line. Let's identify the coordinates of these points:

  • The first point appears to be (0,1)(0, 1), where the line crosses the y-axis.
  • The second point appears to be (2,3)(2, 3), where the line crosses the grid.

Now, let's calculate the slope:

slope=3120=22=1\text{slope} = \frac{3 - 1}{2 - 0} = \frac{2}{2} = 1

So, the slope of the line is 1.

  4. What happens to the slope when the line is vertical or horizontal?
  5. Can you determine the equation of the line given the slope and a point on the line?

Tip: When identifying points on a graph, make sure to read the coordinates accurately from the grid to avoid calculation errors.
