Question

What is the slope of the line shown on the graph?

a 5/4

b 4/5

c -5/4

d -4/5​

Answer 1

I think i did this problem before and i believe the answer was B 4/5

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

Take 2 points and use the slope formula

The 2 points: (0,0) and (5,4)

The slope formula is:

`m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(2) )`

We can say (0,0) is our first point, and (5,4) is our second, and substitute them in. y2 is 4, y1 is 0, x2 is 5, and x2 is 0.

`m=(4-0)/(5-0)`

`m=(4)/(5)`

So, the slope if 4/5, or choice B
