Question

help idunno what to doo!

Answer 1

The slope is
`(b)/(a)`

Explanation:

Since, the slope of a line passes through the points
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2, y_2)` is,

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

Thus, the slope of the line that contains the points named E(0, 0) and F(a, b) is,

`m=(b-0)/(a-0)=(b)/(a)`

Answer 2

The slope of a line is a number that measures its "steepness", usually denoted by the letter m. It is the change in y for a unit change in x along the line. Therefore, the slope of the line with the given points would be :

slope = (b - 0) / (a - 0) = b/a
