Question

Use similar triangles to determine the slope of the line.

The slope is ____.

The coordinates are (0, 0), (1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9)

Answer 1

The slope can be determined by finding the rise over run between any two points on the line.

Let's take the points (0, 0) and (1, 3) to find the slope:

Rise = Change in y = 3 - 0 = 3
Run = Change in x = 1 - 0 = 1

Therefore, the slope between these two points is:

Slope = Rise/Run = 3/1 = 3

So, the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 0), (1, 3), (2, 6), and (3, 9) is 3.
