Answer 1

The slope of the line can be determined by finding the change in y divided by the change in x between any two points on the line.

Let's take the points (-2,1) and (2,2).
The change in y = 2 - 1 = 1
The change in x = 2 - (-2) = 4

Therefore, the slope is 1/4 or Start Fraction 1 over 4 End Fraction.
