Question 12 • Mathematics 8

What is the slope of each line? Line cap A : y is equal to 1 half x minus 4 Line cap b : y is equal to 2 x minus 3

Answer
A
The slope of line cap A is equal to negative 3 . The slope of line cap b is equal to negative 4 .
B
The slope of line cap A is equal to 1 half . The slope of line cap b is equal to 2 .
C
The slope of line cap A is equal to negative 4 . The slope of line cap b is equal to negative 3 .
D
The slope of line cap A is equal to negative 1 half . The slope of line cap b is equal to negative 2 .

Explanation

In slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, the slope is the coefficient of x. For line A, y = 1/2 x − 4, so the slope is 1/2. For line B, y = 2x − 3, so the slope is 2. Choice B gives both slopes correctly.
