slope is 4/2 or 2/1
Explanation:
We would apply the slope formula:
[tex]m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
The points on the graph: (-1, 1) and (1, 5)
[tex]x_1=-1,y_1=1,x_2=1,y_2\text{ = }5[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Slope }=\frac{5-1}{1-(-1)} \\ m\text{ ultiplication of same sign gives a positive number} \\ \text{slope = }\frac{5-1}{1+1} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{slope = 4/2} \\ \text{slope = 2} \end{gathered}[/tex]
We are to enter the slope as a farction or decimal
As a fraction, slope is 4/2 or 2/1
