Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the slope of the line in the image, we can use the "rise over run" method. The slope of a line is calculated using the formula:
From the graph, we can identify two clear points that the line passes through:
Using these two points, the change in (the "rise") and the change in (the "run") are:
So, the slope is:
Thus, the slope of the line is 1.

Related Questions:
- What is the equation of the line given its slope and points?
- How do you determine the y-intercept of this line?
- Can you find the slope if the line was steeper or shallower?
- How would the slope change if the line was inverted (flipped)?
- What happens to the slope when a line is vertical or horizontal?
Tip:
When analyzing slopes, a positive slope means the line rises as it moves to the right, while a negative slope means the line falls as it moves to the right.
