EXPLANATION

As we can see in the graph, we need to take two ordered pairs in order to calculate the slope with the following equation:


\text{Slope}=((y_2-y_1))/((x_2-x_1))

Let's consider either one ordered pair, as (x1,y1)=(60,0) and (x2,y2)=(100,100), then the slope will be:


\text{Slope}=((100-0))/((100-60))=(5)/(2)

Answer: the slope is equal to 5/2.
