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 8 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 0 comma 4 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 a line, we can use the slope formula:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
By looking at the coordinates of the two plotted points, we can determine the change in y and the change in x.
The first point is (-8, 0) and the second point is (0, 4).
Change in y = 4 - 0 = 4
Change in x = 0 - (-8) = 8
Therefore, the slope of the line is 4/8, which can be simplified to 1/2.

Apologies for any confusion caused. Let's re-evaluate the slope calculation.
Given the points (-8, 0) and (0, 4), we can determine the change in y and change in x.
Change in y = 4 - 0 = 4
Change in x = 0 - (-8) = 8
So, the slope of the line is (change in y) / (change in x) = 4/8 = 1/2. Therefore, the slope of the line is indeed 1/2.

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 slope formula:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
By looking at the coordinates of the two plotted points, we can determine the change in y and the change in x.
The first point is (-4, 7) and the second point is (4, 8).
Change in y = 8 - 7 = 1
Change in x = 4 - (-4) = 8
Therefore, the slope of the line is 1/8.

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 3 comma 1 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma negative 4 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 slope formula:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
By looking at the coordinates of the two plotted points, we can determine the change in y and the change in x.
The first point is (-3, 1) and the second point is (2, -4).
Change in y = -4 - 1 = -5
Change in x = 2 - (-3) = 5
Therefore, the slope of the line is -5/5, which simplifies to -1.
