Question

what is the slope of line u? thats how much the vertical distance increases for a given increase in the horizontal distance, or the value of vertical distance / horizontal distance. slope = vertical distance / horizontal distance

Explanation:

Step1: Identify vertical and horizontal distances

Vertical distance = 3, Horizontal distance = 6

Step2: Calculate the slope

Slope = $\frac{\text{vertical distance}}{\text{horizontal distance}}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
