Answer:

m = 20

Explanation:

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Let's pick 2 points (0,5) ( 1 , 25)

The y increase by 20, and the x increase by 1, so the slope is

m = 20

Answer:

The slope is 20.

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line, we pick two points on the line and use the slope formula.

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

The points I used were ( 0,5) and ( 1,25).

m = ( 25-5)/( 1-0)

= 20/1

= 20

The slope is 20.
