Question

What is the slope of the line on the graph below?

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 2, negative 3), (negative 1, negative 1), (0, 1) and (1, 3).
–One-half
One-half
1
2

Answer 1

Slope = (change in y)/(change in x). From (-2,-3) to (-1,-1): (−1 − (−3))/(−1 − (−2)) = 2/1 = 2. So the slope is 2.
