Question

what is the slope of line j? thats how much the vertical distance increases for a given increase in the horizontal distance, or the value of \\(\frac{\text{vertical distance}}{\text{horizontal distance}}\\). \\(\text{slope} = \frac{\text{vertical distance}}{\text{horizontal distance}} = \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify vertical/horizontal distances

Vertical distance = $11-6=5$, Horizontal distance = $10-4=6$

Step2: Calculate slope via ratio

Slope = $\frac{\text{vertical distance}}{\text{horizontal distance}} = \frac{5}{6}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}$
