Example Questions

Example Question #1426 : Intermediate Geometry

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points:

(8, 15) and (-39, 13)

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2}{47}$

$\frac{12}{47}$

$\frac{19}{4}$

$-\frac{34}{47}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{47}$

Explanation:

Recall that the slope of a line also measures how steep the line is. Use the following equation to find the slope of the line:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Now, substitute in the information using the given points.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{13-15}{-39-8}$

Simplify.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{-2}{-47}$

Solve.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{2}{47}$

Example Question #111 : Grade 8

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points:

(4, -10) and (5, 6)

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Recall that the slope of a line also measures how steep the line is. Use the following equation to find the slope of the line:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Now, substitute in the information using the given points.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{6-(-10)}{5-4}$

Simplify.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{16}{1}$

Solve.

$\text{Slope}=16$

Example Question #112 : Grade 8

What is the slope m of the line below?

y - 2= 2(x-4)

Possible Answers:

m = 2

m=-8

m=-2

m=4

m=-4

Correct answer:

m = 2

Explanation:

To answer this question you should realize that the equation for the line is given in point - slope form. The standard point slope form of a line is given below:

y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)

m represents the slope of the line so all we have to do is recognize the correct line form and we automatically know that the slope is m = 2

Correct answer:

Graph A

Screen shot 2016 03 08 at 2.14.15 pm

Explanation:

The unit rate of a graph is the slope of the graph. To solve for the slope we can use the following formula:

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Based on our formula, we first need to find two points for each of the graph, and then we can solve for the slope.

Graph A

Points: (1,5) and (2,7)

Slope: $\frac{7-5}{2-1}=\frac{2}{1}=2$

Graph B

Points: (1,8) and (2,13)

Slope: $\frac{13-8}{2-1}=\frac{5}{1}=5$

Graph C

Points: (1,8) and (2,12)

Slope: $\frac{12-8}{2-1}=\frac{4}{1}=4$

Graph D

Points: (1,6) and (2,9)

Slope: $\frac{9-6}{2-1}=\frac{3}{1}=3$

We are looking for the graph with a slope, or unit rate, of ; thus, our correct answer is Graph A.

Example Question #115 : Grade 8

Select the equation that shows the greatest unit rate.

Possible Answers:

$y=\frac{1}{5}x+7$

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+5$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+4$

$y=\frac{1}{4}x+6$
