Look at the graph.

The graph shows a line through the points left parenthesis negative 1 comma negative 2 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 2 comma 1 right parenthesis.

The slope of the line is _______.
A. positive
B. negative
C. zero
D. undefined

I need help pls this is oddly confusing for me this morning.

A.

B.
A.
C.
D.

How about just saying:

The graph shows a line through the points (-1 , -2) and (2 , 1) ??

You just have to know how to find slope to have any success with
these kind of problems !

slope = (1 - (-2) )/(2 - (-1) )
= (1+2)/(2+1)
= 3/3
= 1

I got the answer A. Positive!!!

Yes, it is 1 which is +1 which is +

Ok thx

I am still confused 😐

What is the rest?

thanks @i am so funky you were 100% :)

To determine the slope of the line, you can use the formula:

slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)

Let's calculate the changes in the coordinates based on the given points (-1,-2) and (2,1):

Change in y-coordinates = 1 - (-2) = 3
Change in x-coordinates = 2 - (-1) = 3

Now, substitute these values into the slope formula:

slope = 3 / 3 = 1

Based on the calculated slope of 1, the line has a positive slope.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. positive.
