Question

what is the slope of this line? simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's take the points $(0,1)$ and $(8,6)$.

Step2: Use the slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1 = 0,y_1 = 1,x_2=8,y_2 = 6$. Then $m=\frac{6 - 1}{8 - 0}=\frac{5}{8}$.

Answer:

$\frac{5}{8}$
