Respuesta :

Try to use rise/run. 

The line rises 10 and runs 2. 

10/2

Simplify. 

5/1 or 5.

The slope is 5.

I hope this helped you.

Answer

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

to find the slope  we need to know that the slope of a line is a number that measures its "steepness", usually denoted by the letter m. It is the change in y for a unit change in x along the line

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\\\[/tex]

according to the graph,Let

P1(1,5)  and P2(-1,-5)

[tex]x_{1}=1 \\y_{1}=5\\\\\\y_{2}=-5\\y_{1}=-1[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\m=\frac{-5-5}{-1-1}\\m=\frac{-10}{-2}\\ m=5\\[/tex]

the slope is 5

have a great day
