Answer is slope of 5


Step by step


You can graph the slope as seen on the attached picture. You go up 30, you go right +6. Slope is y/x, so 30/6, equals 5



You can also use the slope formula


(y2-y1) over (x2-x1)


Using points on the graph


(6,0) and (0,-30)


(-30-0 ) over (0-6)


-30 over -6


-30/-6


= 5
