Answer 1

to get the slope of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, let's use the ones from the picture below.

`(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{20}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{20}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{5}-\underset{x_1}{0}}} \implies \cfrac{ 20 }{ 5 } \implies \text{\LARGE 4}`
