Question

what is the slope of this line?
is the slope positive or negative?
a) positive
b) negative
slope: \\(\frac{rise}{run}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points

Points are $(0, 1)$ and $(1, 4)$

Step2: Calculate rise over run

Rise: $4 - 1 = 3$, Run: $1 - 0 = 1$
Slope: $\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{3}{1} = 3$

Step3: Determine slope sign

Slope is positive (increases left to right)

Answer:

Slope: $3$
Slope sign: a) positive
