ANSWER

Explanation

What to find? The slope of the line of the equation

The equation of a straight line is represented below


y\text{ = }(1)/(5)x\text{ + 25}

The general form of the slope-intercept equation is written below as

y = mx + b

where,

• m, = ,slope of the line

,

• b, = ,intercept of the y-axis

Relating the two equations together, we will see that,


\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }(1)/(5) \\ b\text{ = 25} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the slope of the equation of the straight line is 1/5
