Question

The graph of a line is shown on the grid. The coordinates of both points indicated on the graph of the line are integers.

(-7, 6) (-4, 7)

What is the rate of change of y with respect to x for this line?

(1 point)

−5/7

3/7

2/3

−7/5

Answer 1

Slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = (7 − 6)/(−4 − (−7)) = 1/3.

So the rate of change is 1/3 — none of the provided choices equals 1/3.
