1910
Options :
A. -5
B. -1/5
C. 1/5
D. 5

Answer 1

A. -5 i think it is the right answer

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (A) -5

Step-by-step explanation :

The general form for the formation of a linear equation is:

`(y-y_1)=m* (x-x_1)`

where,

x and y are the coordinates of x-axis and y-axis respectively.

m is slope of line.

Now we have to calculate the slope of line.

Formula used :

`m=((y_2-y_1))/((x_2-x_1))`

Here,

`(x_1,y_1)=(0,2)` and
`(x_2,y_2)=(1,-3)` (from the graph)

`m=((-3-2))/((1-0))`

`m=(-5)/(1)`

m = -5

Therefore, the slope of line is, -5
