Question

question 10 of 10

what is the slope of the line shown below?

a. -3
b. 3
c. \frac{1}{3}
d. -\frac{1}{3}

Explanation:

Identify the given coordinates

$$ (x_1, y_1) = (2, 2),\quad (x_2, y_2) = (4, 8) $$

Apply the slope formula

$$ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{8 - 2}{4 - 2} $$

Calculate the final slope value

$$ m = \frac{6}{2} = 3 $$

Answer:

• A. -3
• B. 3 (Correct answer)
• C. \(\frac{1}{3}\)
• D. \(-\frac{1}{3}\)
