Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of line

m = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{tabular}{ X |Y|} X& Y& \\ 1 & 0& \\ 05 & 30 & \\ 10 & 60 & \\ 2 & 0 & \\ 0 & 18 & \\ 25 & 45 & \\\end{tabular}\end{document}\end{document}$

To find the slope of a line we choose any two value of X and Y

$x_{1} = 1 , x_{2} = 5$

$y_{1} = 0 , y_{2} = 30$

Slope(m) =  $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

                = $\frac{30 - 0}{5 - 1}$

               = $\frac{30}{4}$

                = 7.5
