The graph of a linear function z is shown below.

Question

Which of the following best describes the slope of function z?
Responses
A -2/3
B 3/2
C -3/2
D 2/3

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) 3/2.

This is because the slope of a linear function is determined by the coefficient of the x-term in the equation of the function. In this case, since the line is going up and to the right, the slope is positive. Looking at the graph, for every unit increase in the x-direction, there is a 1.5 unit increase in the y-direction, which corresponds to a slope of 3/2.
