Answer:

The slope is 3/8

Explanation:

The difference in the rise (y-values) 3, divided by the difference in the run (x-values) 8, is 3/8.

You can see this by looking at the places where the graphed line crosses the grid, and counting the squares in each direction between those points, or you can use the formula (y - y₁) ÷ (x - x₁)

Using the values of coordinates (3,1) and (-5, 4)

4 -(1) ÷ 3 - (-5)

3 ÷ 8

3/8
