Question

question 4 of 10

what is the slope of the line shown below?

a. 4
b. -2
c. -4
d. 2

Explanation:

Identify the given coordinates

$$ (x_1, y_1) = (1, -2),\quad (x_2, y_2) = (3, 6) $$

Apply the slope formula

$$ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{6 - (-2)}{3 - 1} $$

Calculate the final slope value

$$ m = \frac{8}{2} = 4 $$

Answer:

• (A) 4 (Correct answer)
• (B) -2
• (C) -4
• (D) 2
