\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{20}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{30})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{80}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{60}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{60}-\stackrel{y1}{30}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{80}-\underset{x_1}{20}}}\implies \cfrac{30}{60}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}

Answer:


(1)/(2)

Explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

In mathematics is called a slope to the inclination of a linear, natural or constructive element with respect to the horizontal.with two known points P1 and P2 it can be calculated using


slope=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1))\\ where \\P1(x_(1),y_(1))\\P2(x_(2),y_(2))

Step 1

based on the graph

Let

P1(0,20)

P2(40,40)

put the values into the formula


slope=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1))\\slope=(40-20 )/(40-0)\\slope=(20)/(40) \\slope=(1)/(2)\\

Have a great day.
