Answer:

m = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Locate two points on the line whose coordinates are integers.

Starting with the point on the left, sketch a right triangle, going from the first point to the second point.

Count the rise and the run on the legs of the triangle.

Take the ratio of rise to run to find the slope.

Answer: 1/5 in the bottom left corner (aka southwest corner)

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick any two rows from the table to form (x,y) points.

I'll pick the last two rows to get the two points (3,6) and (8,7)

Those coordinates will be plugged into the slope formula below. The order of subtraction matters.

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (7-6)/(8-3)

m = 1/5
