The slope is supposed to be 0.16 but that's not what i get. Can someone else please confirm i am not going nuts?
The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness or incline. It is defined as the change in the vertical (y) coordinate divided by the change in the horizontal (x) coordinate between any two points on the line.
The slope of a line can be calculated using the formula: slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.
A positive slope indicates that the line is increasing from left to right, meaning the y values are getting larger as the x values increase.
A negative slope indicates that the line is decreasing from left to right, meaning the y values are getting smaller as the x values increase.
No, the slope of a vertical line is undefined because the change in x is 0, making the slope calculation (y2 - y1) / 0 which is undefined.
