Question

Use similar triangles to determine the slope of the line. Write your answer in fraction form
(0,0), (2,1), (4,2), (6,3), (8,4)

Answer 1

The slope of the line can be determined by looking at the change in y-coordinates over the change in x-coordinates between two points on the line.

Using the points (0,0) and (2,1):
Change in y-coordinates: 1 - 0 = 1
Change in x-coordinates: 2 - 0 = 2

The slope between these two points is 1/2.

Since the line passes through all the points given, the slope of the line is 1/2.
