Answer:

The slope is 5/6

Explanation:

To calculate the slope here, there are two ways.

Count the rise over run with the boxes

Or

Find Any 2 points and use y2-y1/x2-x1 to find slope

Both ways work.

For this graph Since it looks pretty basic, I‘ll use the rise over run technique

Now we start from the origin side that is where one point is and just rise vertically until I reach a point and when I do, just run that many steps.

So I reached till 5 and ran to 6 which is a point on the coordinate graph

So to put it in slope form, it’s rise over run

Heres a easy way to remember it

lets say you wake up, you have to rise first and then run

You can’t run and then rise, that makes no sense

So here its rise 5 and run 6

so 5/6 is the slope
