Question

select the correct answer. which number best represents the slope of the graphed line?

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's take two clear - cut points on the line, say $(0, - 1)$ and $(2,0)$.

Step2: Use the slope formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1 = 0,y_1=-1,x_2 = 2,y_2 = 0$. Then $m=\frac{0-(-1)}{2 - 0}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
