Answer:

By the looks of it, this would be 2/5 because your x-axis is going by 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5....... and so on

Explanation:

When finding slope use a thing called rise over run.

You would find your points, in this case (5,6) and (10,4)

If it helps make a dotted triangle from one point to the next point. (refer to my picture)

How many times you count up (rise) from one point, is your numerator

How many times you count across from one point (run) is your denominator
