A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and the y-axis ranging from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2. Two points are plotted and joined by a line. The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis negative 4 comma 7 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 8 right parenthesis. A line connects the two plotted points and extends beyond the points in both directions.
Find the slope of the line given its graph.

To find the slope of the line, we can use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates)/(change in x-coordinates).
From the graph, we can see that the change in y-coordinates is 8 - 7 = 1, and the change in x-coordinates is 4 - (-4) = 8.
Therefore, the slope of the line is (change in y-coordinates)/(change in x-coordinates) = 1/8.
To find the slope of the line given its graph, we can use the formula:
Slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
From the graph, we can see that the change in y is 8 - 7 = 1, and the change in x is 4 - (-4) = 4 + 4 = 8.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Slope = 1/8
So, the slope of the line is 1/8.
To find the slope of the line given its graph, we can use the formula for slope, which is:
slope = (change in y-coordinate) / (change in x-coordinate)
In this case, we have two points plotted on the graph: (-4, 7) and (4, 8). To calculate the change in y-coordinate, we subtract the y-coordinate of the first point from the y-coordinate of the second point:
change in y-coordinate = 8 - 7 = 1
Similarly, to calculate the change in x-coordinate, we subtract the x-coordinate of the first point from the x-coordinate of the second point:
change in x-coordinate = 4 - (-4) = 4 + 4 = 8
Now, we can substitute these values into the formula for slope:
slope = (1) / (8) = 1/8
Therefore, the slope of the line is 1/8.
