Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x and y axes extend from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Two points are plotted on the graph. An upward slanting line connects the two points. Point A is plotted at coordinates left parenthesis negative 4 comma 1 right parenthesis. Point B is plotted at left parenthesis 3 comma 3 right parenthesis.

Determine the slope of the line.

Answer 1

The slope of the line is 2.

To find the slope, you can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plugging in the coordinates of Point A (-4,1) and Point B (3,3):
slope = (3 - 1) / (3 - (-4))
slope = 2 / 7
slope = 2/7
