To determine the value of the slope from a graph, you look at two points on the line and use the formula for slope, which is:
The value of the slope indicates how steep the line is and the direction in which it moves:
- If the slope is positive, the line rises from left to right.
- If the slope is negative, the line falls from left to right.
- If the slope is zero, the line is horizontal and does not rise or fall.
- If the slope is undefined, the line is vertical.
Once you calculate the slope and have its value, you can conclude the characteristics about the graph based on that value. If you provide me with the specific coordinates of points on the graph or any additional details, I can help you determine the slope and what it tells you about the graph!
