Problem 1: Find the slope from the graph
Step1: Identify two points on the line
Looking at the graph, we can pick two clear points. Let's say when \( x = 1 \), \( y = 0 \) and when \( x = 2 \), \( y = 3 \) (or other suitable points). Wait, actually, let's check the rise over run. From the graph, the line goes up 3 units and right 1 unit? Wait, no, maybe better to use two points. Let's take (1, 0) and (2, 3). Wait, no, maybe the correct points: let's see the grid. Let's take two points: (0, -3) and (1, 0). Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the slope formula is \( m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \). Let's find two points on the line. Let's say when \( x = 1 \), \( y = 0 \) and when \( x = 0 \), \( y = -3 \)? No, wait, looking at the graph, the line passes through (1, 0) and (2, 3)? Wait, no, maybe the correct slope is 3? Wait, no, let's check again. Wait, the answer choices have D: \( m = 3 \). Wait, maybe the two points are (1, 0) and (2, 3), so \( m=\frac{3 - 0}{2 - 1}=\frac{3}{1}=3 \), so answer D.
Problem 2: Find the slope from the table
Step1: Use the slope formula \( m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \)
Take two points from the table, say (0, 7) and (1, 4). Then \( m=\frac{4 - 7}{1 - 0}=\frac{-3}{1}=-3 \)? Wait, no, wait (0,7) and (1,4): \( y_2 - y_1 = 4 - 7 = -3 \), \( x_2 - x_1 = 1 - 0 = 1 \), so \( m = -3 \)? But answer A is \( m = -3 \). Wait, let's check another pair: (1,4) and (2,1): \( m=\frac{1 - 4}{2 - 1}=\frac{-3}{1}=-3 \). So yes, slope is -3, answer A.
Problem 3: Find the slope between (2, 18) and (4, 28)
Step1: Apply slope formula \( m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \)
Let \( (x_1, y_1)=(2, 18) \) and \( (x_2, y_2)=(4, 28) \). Then \( m=\frac{28 - 18}{4 - 2}=\frac{10}{2}=5 \)? Wait, no, 28 - 18 is 10, 4 - 2 is 2, so 10/2 = 5? But answer choices have H: \( m = 5 \)? Wait, no, wait 28 - 18 is 10, 4 - 2 is 2, so 5? But wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, (2,18) and (4,28): \( y_2 - y_1 = 28 - 18 = 10 \), \( x_2 - x_1 = 4 - 2 = 2 \), so \( m = 10/2 = 5 \), so answer H? Wait, no, the answer choices: H is \( m = 5 \). Wait, but let's check again. Wait, maybe the points are (2,18) and (4,28), so slope is (28 - 18)/(4 - 2) = 10/2 = 5, so H.
