Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?​

Answer 1

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{slope = \frac{1}{5}}$

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

$slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Plug in points into the equation. We can use the points (0, -10) and (25, -5):

$slope = \frac{-5-(-10) }{25 -0 } = \frac{5}{25} = \frac{1}{5}$
