Answer:

1/5

Explanation:

You want the slope of line AB, given A(-2, 2) and B(3, 3).

Slope

The slope is given by the formula ...

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

m = (3 -2)/(3 -(-2)) = 1/5

The slope of the line AB is 1/5.

Additional comment

You can also find the slope by counting the grid squares. Point B is 1 up and 5 over from point A, so the slope is rise/run = 1/5.
