Answer:

No because the x value does not change by 1 everytime the y value changes by 5

Explanation:

Rate of Change = Slope

If the slope was 5, the the point on the graph would be on the coordinate (1,5)

However, the graph provided does NOT show 5 as being the slope because the line does not go through 0 and the x value does not change by 1 everytime y changes by 5.

If it did, however, it would look something like this picture.
