Answer:

(b) 5/7

Explanation:

When determining slope from a graph, it is convenient to locate points on the graph where it crosses grid lines. This graph crosses the origin, and the point (7, 5). The slope is found by counting grid squares or by the slope formula ...

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

m = (5 -0) /(7 -0) = 5/7 . . . . . . . . . using points (0, 0) and (7, 5)

The slope of the line is 5/7.
