Question

find the slope of the line shown on the graph to the right. what is the slope of the line? select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. a. the slope of the line is (type an integer or a simplified fraction.) b. the slope of the line is undefined

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's take two clear - cut points on the line, say (- 2,0) and (0,2).

Step2: Use the slope formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1=-2,y_1 = 0,x_2 = 0,y_2=2$. Then $m=\frac{2 - 0}{0-(-2)}$.

Step3: Simplify the expression

$m=\frac{2}{2}=1$.

Answer:

A. The slope of the line is 1
