Question: What is the slope of the line?
1. The problem asks for the slope of a line given its graph.
2. The slope formula for a line passing through two points $ (x_1, y_1) $ and $ (x_2, y_2) $ is:
$$ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} $$
3. From the graph, the line crosses the y-axis at about $ (0, 2) $ and passes through $ (-1, 0) $.
4. Substitute these points into the slope formula:
$$ m = \frac{2 - 0}{0 - (-1)} = \frac{2}{1} $$
5. Simplify the fraction:
$$ m = 2 $$
6. Therefore, the slope of the line is $ 2 $.
