Find the slope of the following graphs

Question

A. 1/2
B. 2
C.-2
D.-1/2

Answer 1

The slope of a line is the measure of how steeply it rises or falls.

A. The slope of the graph is 1/2, which means that for every 1 unit the line moves to the right, it rises by 1/2 units.

B. The slope of the graph is 2, which means that for every 1 unit the line moves to the right, it rises by 2 units.

C. The slope of the graph is -2, which means that for every 1 unit the line moves to the right, it falls by 2 units.

D. The slope of the graph is -1/2, which means that for every 1 unit the line moves to the right, it falls by 1/2 units.
