Question

draw a line representing the
ise\ and a line representing the
un\ of the line. state the slope of the line in simplest form.
click twice to plot each segment.
click a segment to delete it.
answer attempt 1 out of 3

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points on the line

From the graph, we can see that the line passes through \((0, -8)\) and \((8, -4)\) (we can choose these two points as they are easy to identify).

Step2: Calculate the rise

Rise is the change in \(y\)-coordinates, so \(y_2 - y_1=-4 - (-8)=-4 + 8 = 4\).

Step3: Calculate the run

Run is the change in \(x\)-coordinates, so \(x_2 - x_1=8 - 0 = 8\).

Step4: Calculate the slope

Slope \(m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}\).

Answer:

The slope of the line is \(\frac{1}{2}\).
