Chapter 8.7, Problem 33PPS

To determine

To calculate: To find the slope of line

Answer to Problem 33PPS

Slope of line is $2$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Graph of line is

  

Formula Used:

Slope of line is calculated as

  $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Calculation:

Graph of equation of line is given as follows:

  

Two points on graph are

  $\left(1,6\right)$ and $\left(-2,0\right)$

Also, slope of line is calculated as follows:

  $\begin{array}{l}m=\frac{6-0}{1-\left(-2\right)}\\ m=\frac{6}{1+2}\\ m=\frac{6}{3}\\ m=2\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Hence, slope is $2$
