Question

what is the slope of this line?
is the slope positive or negative?
a) positive
b) negative
slope: \\(\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}\\)

Explanation:

Determine the sign of the slope

Using the Slope Calculation knowledge point
The line rises from left to right, which means the slope is positive.

Identify points on the line

Using the Coordinate Plane knowledge point
The graph highlights two points on the grid:

$$ (0, 0) \quad \text{and} \quad (2, 3) $$

Calculate rise and run

Using the Rise over Run knowledge point

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Compute the slope value

Using the Slope Calculation knowledge point

$$ \text{Slope} = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} = \frac{3}{2} $$

Answer:

Question 1

Is the slope positive or negative?

• a) positive (Correct answer)
• b) negative

Question 2

What is the slope of this line?

$$\frac{3}{2}$$
