+259 You can calculate the slope of something by doing doing the following:
\(\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\)
So with 1.5meters per second, you can calculate the slope by calculating two points with (x1/y1) and (x2/y2) and then substrating them like shown above.
Example:
If u got 2m per seconds and u have a graph with x being the meters and y being the seconds you can get 2 points
of (2m/1s) and (4m/2s)
The slope of this is then:
\(\frac{4m-2m}{2s-1s} = \frac{2m}{1s} \)
which is in the graph equal to 2. so the graph to this is 2x+0. The equation is ax+b and a the slope is 2.
