Question
Use the image to answer the question.
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 6 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 4 comma 6 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 formula:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
From the graph, we can see that the line goes up 4 units (from y = 2 to y = 6) and goes right 2 units (from x = -6 to x = -4).
Therefore, the slope of the line is:
slope = (4) / (2) = 2
To find the slope of the line given its graph, we can use the formula for slope, which is:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
To find the change in y, we subtract the y-coordinate of one point from the y-coordinate of the other point. To find the change in x, we subtract the x-coordinate of one point from the x-coordinate of the other point.
From the given plotted points, we have:
Point 1: (-6, 2)
Point 2: (-4, 6)
Change in y = 6 - 2 = 4
Change in x = -4 - (-6) = 2
Now we can substitute these values into the slope formula:
slope = 4 / 2 = 2
Therefore, the slope of the line is 2.
To find the slope of a line, you need to remember the formula for slope:
slope = (change in y-coordinate) / (change in x-coordinate)
In this case, we are given the two plotted points: (-6, 2) and (-4, 6). To find the slope, we need to calculate the change in y-coordinate and the change in x-coordinate.
Change in y-coordinate = 6 - 2 = 4
Change in x-coordinate = -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2
Now we can substitute these values into the slope formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinate) / (change in x-coordinate)
slope = 4 / 2
slope = 2
So, the slope of the line is 2.
