Question
Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and the y-axis ranging from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2. Two points are plotted and joined by a line. The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis negative 6 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 4 comma 6 right parenthesis. A line connects the two plotted points and extends beyond the points in both directions.

Find the slope of the line given its graph.

To find the slope of a line, we can use the formula:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

From the graph, we can see that the line goes up 4 units (from y = 2 to y = 6) and goes right 2 units (from x = -6 to x = -4).

Therefore, the slope of the line is:

slope = (4) / (2) = 2
