Two points on a graph are (-4, 1) and (0, 2) . Identify the slope between these two points.

Question

1. -4
2. 4
3. -1/4
4. 1/4

Answer 1

The slope between two points can be found using the formula:

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

Using the coordinates (-4, 1) and (0, 2), we can calculate the slope as follows:

change in y-coordinates = 2 - 1 = 1
change in x-coordinates = 0 - (-4) = 4

Therefore, the slope between the two points is:

slope = 1/4

So, the correct answer is option 4. 1/4.
