Let


A(0,0)\\B(5,1)

we know that

the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to


m=((y2-y1))/((x2-x1))

Substitute the values in the formula


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


m=(1)/(5)

therefore

the answer is the option b

the slope is equal to
(1)/(5)

Hey there!

In order to solve this problem, we can use the slope given two points formula:

y2-y1/x2-x1

Now, we can plug in our points to get:

1-0/5-0 = 1/5

Your answer is 1/5, or B.

Hope this helps!
