Question

What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

`(1)/(5) \ or \ 0.2`

Explanation:

1) take two of several points (for example, A(-8;0) and B(-3;1)); all the points needed are shown in the attached picture;

2) calculate the difference between y-coordinates and x-coordinates (for example, for A&B points y-difference is 1, x-difference is 5);

3) divide difference between y-coordinates by the difference between x-coordinates (for example, for points A&B it is 1/5=0.2). The result is the required slope.

Answer 2

1/5

Explanation:

pick a point on the line that crosses one of the square's corners in the grid exactly

count how many you need to go up (1) and across (5) until the line crosses the next square corner
