Hey there! :)

Answer:

m (slope) = 3/5.

Explanation:

Find the slope of the line using the slope formula:


m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

Plug in two points from the graph. We can use the points (-5, -2) and (0, 1):


m = (1- (-2))/(0 - (-5))

Simplify:

m = 3/5.

In the equation y = mx + b, the m value represents the slope. Therefore:

The slope of this line is 3/5.
