Answer:
The slope of this line is 5/3. Or, 1 2/3. The equation would be y = 5/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
You are in luck my friend!
To find the slope of a line on a graph, you need to find the rise over run. You need to pick two definite points on a graph. An intersection whereyou can clearly tell the value. For example 1,1 and -4,-4. Then use your finger and trace how many units up you have to go, and then how many units across. (This is a very common topic so if you need further help just look up rise over run. This fact will put you ahead, do you see how the line intersects between the 2 and the 3 in the y axis? This is called the y intersect, you will see it added to the slope so if the equation is y = 5/3x it would be written as y = 5/3x + 2.5 because that is where the line intersects with the y axis.) Back to slope, remember that the formula is always rise/run. Later, you will find to points and use a slope formula. y2-y1/x2-x1.
Hope this helped :)
