what is the slope of the line shown below (-3,1) (5,1)

Answer:
A. 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The line is upwards so slope will be positive. (either A or C will be the answer)
Now to solve for slope to find out
Two coordinate points on graph (-3,-1) ad (5,1)
Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Slope = (1 + 1)/(5 + 3) = 2/8 = 1/4
Answer:
[tex]A.\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, I think I can help you with this
The slope is the inclination of the line with respect to the abscissa axis, if you know two points it can be calculated using
[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}\[/tex]
where
[tex]P1(x_{1},y_{1})\\P2(x_{2},y_{2})[/tex]
Step 1
put the values into the equation
Let
[tex]P1(-3,-1) \\P2(5,1)\\\\m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } \\m=\frac{1-(-1)}{5-(-3) } \\m=\frac{1+1}{5+3} \\m=\frac{2}{8} \\m=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Have a great day
