Math Problem Statement

Find the slope

Find the slope.

Solution

To find the slope of the line in the graph, we can use the formula for the slope mm, which is given by:

m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Here, (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) are two points on the line.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Identify two points on the line:

    • From the graph, it looks like two points on the line could be (2,3)(2, 3) and (6,6)(6, 6).
  2. Substitute the coordinates into the slope formula: m=6362=34m = \frac{6 - 3}{6 - 2} = \frac{3}{4}

  3. Calculate the slope: m=34m = \frac{3}{4}

Conclusion:

The slope of the line is 34\frac{3}{4}.

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How do you find the slope if the graph is not perfectly clear?
  2. What is the significance of a positive vs. negative slope?
  3. How would you calculate the slope if given two points without a graph?
  4. What does the slope tell you about the steepness of the line?
  5. How would the slope change if the line were horizontal or vertical?

Tip: When finding the slope from a graph, always ensure that the points you choose are as accurate as possible to avoid errors in the calculation.
