Math Problem Statement

The right answer was 5/4

Solution

Let's re-evaluate the problem to find where the discrepancy lies.

Re-evaluation of the Points:

Let's correctly identify the two points on the line from the graph:

  • Point 1: (2,2)(2, 2)
  • Point 2: (6,7)(6, 7)

Slope Calculation:

Using the formula for slope mm: m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Substituting the points (2,2)(2, 2) and (6,7)(6, 7): m=7262=54m = \frac{7 - 2}{6 - 2} = \frac{5}{4}

Correct Answer:

The correct slope of the line is indeed 54\frac{5}{4}.

Tip:

When identifying points on a graph, be sure to double-check the coordinates to avoid errors in slope calculations!
