Answer: the slope is 2/5
Explanation:
The formula for determining slope is expressed as
Slope = change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis
change in the value of y = y2 - y1
Change in value of x = x2 -x1
y2 = final value of y
y 1 = initial value of y
x2 = final value of x
x1 = initial value of x
Looking at the graph given,
y2 = 0
y1 = - 2
x2 = 5
x1 = 0
Slope = (0 - -2)/(0 - 0) = 2/5
