Question

reflections on the coordinate plane
the graph of a linear function is shown on the coordinate grid.
what is the slope of the graph of this function in decimal form?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

The slope $m$ between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step2: Assign given points

Let $(x_1,y_1)=(-6,-5)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(6,1)$

Step3: Substitute into slope formula

$m=\frac{1-(-5)}{6-(-6)}=\frac{1+5}{6+6}=\frac{6}{12}$

Step4: Simplify to decimal form

$\frac{6}{12}=0.5$

Answer:

0.5
