Answer 1

The coordinates from the graph are given below as

`\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)\Rightarrow(0,0) \\ (x_2,y_2)\Rightarrow(4,5) \end{gathered}`

Concept:

To figure out the slope of the line, we will use the formula below

`slope=(y_2-y_2)/(x_2-x_1)`

By substituting the values, we will have

`\begin{gathered} slope=(y_(2)-y_(2))/(x_(2)-x_(1)) \\ slope=(5-0)/(4-0) \\ slope=(5)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Hence,

The slope of the line will be

`slope=(5)/(4)`
