Hey there! :)

Answer:

Slope = 2/5.

Explanation:

Use the slope formula to solve for the slope of the line:


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

Plug in the coordinates of each point into the equation:


m = (8 - 6)/(10 - 5)

Simplify:

m = 2/5. This is the slope of the line.
