Given points D, C, B and A are colinear (they lie on the same line), you can determine that the slope of AB and the slope of DC are the same.

By definition:


Slope=(Rise)/(Run)

In this case, you can identify that:


\begin{gathered} Rise=5 \\ Run=1 \end{gathered}

Therefore, you can determine that:


\begin{gathered} Slope\text{ }of\text{ }DC=(5)/(1) \\ \\ Slope\text{ }of\text{ }DC=5 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is:


Slope\text{ }of\text{ }DC=5
