what is the slope of this line?\nis the slope\npositive or negative?\na) positive\nb) negative\nslope: \\frac{rise}{run}
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identify two points on the line
Let's take two points ((x_1,y_1)=(-0.5,0)) and ((x_2,y_2)=(0,1)) (by observing the graph).
Step2: Calculate the slope using the formula (m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1})
Substitute the values: (m=\frac{1 - 0}{0-(-0.5)}=\frac{1}{0.5}=2) Since (m = 2>0), the slope is positive.
Answer:
a) positive
