Find the slope of the following graphs
A. 1/2
B. 2
C.-2
D.-1/2
The slope of a line is the measure of how steeply it rises or falls.
A. The slope of the graph is 1/2, which means that for every 1 unit the line moves to the right, it rises by 1/2 units.
B. The slope of the graph is 2, which means that for every 1 unit the line moves to the right, it rises by 2 units.
C. The slope of the graph is -2, which means that for every 1 unit the line moves to the right, it falls by 2 units.
D. The slope of the graph is -1/2, which means that for every 1 unit the line moves to the right, it falls by 1/2 units.
To find the slope of a graph, you need to look at the change in the y-coordinates (vertical change) divided by the change in the x-coordinates (horizontal change) between any two points on the line.
A. The slope of 1/2 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in the x-coordinate, the corresponding y-coordinate increases by 1/2 unit. This means the line increases at a moderate rate.
B. The slope of 2 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in the x-coordinate, the corresponding y-coordinate increases by 2 units. This means the line increases at a steep rate.
C. The slope of -2 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in the x-coordinate, the corresponding y-coordinate decreases by 2 units. This means the line decreases at a steep rate.
D. The slope of -1/2 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in the x-coordinate, the corresponding y-coordinate decreases by 1/2 unit. This means the line decreases at a moderate rate.
To find the slope of a graph, we need to determine the change in the y-coordinate (vertical change) divided by the change in the x-coordinate (horizontal change).
A. The slope is 1/2.
This means that for every 1 unit increase in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate increases by 1/2 unit.
B. The slope is 2.
This means that for every 1 unit increase in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate increases by 2 units.
C. The slope is -2.
This means that for every 1 unit increase in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate decreases by 2 units.
D. The slope is -1/2.
This means that for every 1 unit increase in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate decreases by 1/2 unit.
