Answer:

2/5

Explanation:

slope = rise/run

rise is a vertical distance

run is a horizontal distance

We need to find the rise and run between two points on the line.

Look at the point where the line crosses the y-axis. We need to go to another point on the line by going only vertically and horizontally.

Now start at that point, go 2 units up. The rise = 2. Now turn right and go 5 units to the right. The run = 5. You got to another point on the line.

rise = 2

run = 5

slope = rise/run

slope = 2/5

See the picture below.
