the slope goes by several names
• average rate of change
• rate of change
• deltaY over deltaX
• Δy over Δx
• rise over run
• gradient
• constant of proportionality

and to get it, we simply need two points off of the straight line, hmm let's use the ones in the picture below.

Answer:
1/625
Explanation:
In case of multiplication of numbers with same base, we add the powers.
This means that:
a^x * a^y = a^(x+y)
Applying this to the given, we will find that:
(5^-1) * (5^-3) = 5^(-1-3)
= 5^-4
= 1/625
Hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
