To find the slope of a line given its graph, you can follow these steps:
-
Identify two points on the line. The coordinates of these points will be in the form (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
-
Use the slope formula:
\[ \text{slope} (m) = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \]
Without a specific graph provided, I cannot calculate the slope directly. However, you mentioned four possible responses:
- 8
- -18
- negative Start Fraction 1 over 8 End Fraction (which is -1/8)
- 1
- 18
If you can provide the coordinates or describe the graph, I will be able to assist you in finding the slope. If you have the graph, you can count the rise (change in y) and run (change in x) between two points to compute the slope using the formula above.
