Find the slope of the line.
graph of a line crossing the y-axis at -4; the line has an upward slant and also passes through the point (3,1)
(If the slope does not exist, enter DNE or NONE.)
To find the slope of a line from its graph, we first need to identify two points that the line passes through. It is wise to choose points with integer coordinates. For this problem, we choose and .
Next, we sketch a slope triangle and find the rise and run. In the sketch below, the rise is and the run is .

This line’s slope is .
