Math Problem Statement
Find the slope of the line graphed below.
Solution
To find the slope of the line, we need to identify two points on the line and then use the slope formula:
Looking at the graph, we can clearly see two points where the line crosses the grid:
Now, applying the formula for the slope:
Thus, the slope of the line is .
