Question

What is the slope of the line that goes through (0,0) (5,1)

Answer 1

Hey there!

In order to solve this problem, we can use the slope given two points formula:

y2-y1/x2-x1

Now, we can plug in our points to get:

1-0/5-0 = 1/5

Your answer is 1/5, or B.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Let

$A(0,0)\\B(5,1)$

we know that

the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}$

Substitute the values in the formula

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

$m=\frac{1}{5}$

therefore

the answer is the option b

the slope is equal to  $\frac{1}{5}$
