The slope of the line given its graph cannot be determined without further information.
To find the slope of a line given its graph, we need to determine the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.
To calculate the slope, we choose two points on the line, and then use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)
Here are the Step-by-step instructions to find the slope:
1. Look at the graph and select two points on the line.
2. Determine the difference between the y-coordinates of the two points. This represents the vertical change.
3. Determine the difference between the x-coordinates of the two points. This represents the horizontal change.
4. Divide the vertical change by the horizontal change.
For example, if we select two points on the line with coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope is given by:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Please provide the coordinates of two points on the graph of the line to calculate the slope accurately.
To find the slope of a line given its graph, you need to determine the change in y-coordinates (vertical change) divided by the change in x-coordinates (horizontal change) between any two points on the line.
One way to do this is by selecting two points on the line and using the slope formula:
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let's take a look at the options provided:
-1: This is a specific value, not a slope. It represents a constant value, which indicates a horizontal line.
Negative 1: Again, this is a specific value, not a slope. It represents a constant value, which indicates a horizontal line.
-5: Similar to the previous options, -5 is a specific value. It also represents a horizontal line instead of a slope.
Negative Start Fraction 5 over 6 End Fraction: The provided value is a fraction, which implies a non-horizontal line. To determine the slope from this value, we need more information. This could represent the slope as -5/6 or -10/12, for example. However, without additional context or points, we cannot determine the exact slope.
1: Similarly to the previous options, 1 is a specific value and represents a horizontal line rather than a slope.
In conclusion, based on the options provided, we do not have enough information to determine the slope of the line given its graph. We need additional points or context to calculate the slope accurately.
