Question

find the slope of the line graphed below.

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's take the points (-1, 2) and (4, 4).

Step2: Use the slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1=-1,y_1 = 2,x_2=4,y_2 = 4$. Then $m=\frac{4 - 2}{4-(-1)}=\frac{2}{5}$.

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}$
