Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?​

Answer 1

Hi there!

`\large\boxed{slope = (1)/(5)}`

Use slope formula to solve for the slope of the line:

`slope = (y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`

Plug in points into the equation. We can use the points (0, -10) and (25, -5):

`slope = (-5-(-10) )/(25 -0 ) = (5)/(25) = (1)/(5)`
