Math Problem Statement
Find the slope of the line graphed below.
Solution
To find the slope of the line graphed, we can use the slope formula:
From the graph, we can identify two points where the line crosses the grid:
- Point 1:
- Point 2:
Now, let's calculate the slope :
So, the slope of the line is .

- What is the slope of a horizontal line?
- How do you determine the slope if given two points algebraically?
- Can you explain what a negative slope means in a real-world context?
- How does changing one of the points affect the slope?
Tip: The slope tells you how much the line rises or falls for every unit increase in the x-direction.
