Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

m (slope) = 3/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line using the slope formula:

$m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

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

$m = \frac{1- (-2)}{0 - (-5)}$

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.
