Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points on line

Choose $(x_1,y_1)=(0,-1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(7,4)$

Step2: Apply slope formula

Slope $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
$\displaystyle m=\frac{4-(-1)}{7-0}=\frac{5}{7}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{7}$
