Answer:

$\large\boxed{\bold{SLOPE}=(1)/(3)}$

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept (0, b)

The formula of a slope:

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

From the graph we have two points (0, 4) → b = 4, and (3, 5).

Calculate the slope:

m=(5-4)/(3-0)=(1)/(3)

If you want the equation of a line, then put the value of m and b to the equation of a line:

y=(1)/(3)x+4
