Answer:

Slope = 5

Explanation:

We will use 2 points on the line.

(1 , 5) and (2 , 10)

formula for slope = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

10 - 5/2 - 1

= 5/1

= 5

The slope is 5.

Answer:

a. 5

Explanation:

Taking two points, (0,0) and (1,5), find the slope using
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1). Plugging the two points in, we have
(5-0)/(1-0)=5 as the slope.
