Question

question 3 of 10

what is the slope of the line shown below?

a. 2
b. -3
c. -2
d. 3

Explanation:

Identify given coordinates

$$ (x_1, y_1) = (-1, -1) $$

$$ (x_2, y_2) = (1, 5) $$

Apply slope formula

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

$$ m = \frac{5 - (-1)}{1 - (-1)} $$

Calculate final value

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

Answer:

• A. 2
• B. -3
• C. -2
• D. 3 (Correct answer)
