Question

to find the change in vertical distance, we can find the change in the y-values of point a and point b. point bs y-value is 5. record point as y-value to write an expression that represents this vertical change.

slope = \\(\frac{\text{vertical distance}}{\text{horizontal distance}} = \frac{\text{change in } y\text{-values}}{\text{change in } x\text{-values}}\\)
\\(= \frac{5 - \square}{? - ?}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Point A's y - value

From the graph, point A is at (3, 2), so the y - value of point A is 2.

Step2: Determine the value for the box

In the expression for the change in y - values (5 - $\square$), since the y - value of point A is 2, the value in the box should be 2.

Answer:

2
