Answer 1

Solution:

The coordinates from the graph are given below as

$\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)\Rightarrow(0,0) \\ (x_2,y_2)\Rightarrow(4,5) \end{gathered}$

Concept:

To figure out the slope of the line, we will use the formula below

$slope=\frac{y_2-y_2}{x_2-x_1}$

By substituting the values, we will have

$\begin{gathered} slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{2}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ slope=\frac{5-0}{4-0} \\ slope=\frac{5}{4} \end{gathered}$

Hence,

The slope of the line will be

$slope=\frac{5}{4}$
