Estimate the slope of the line given to the right

Estimate the slope of the line given to the right Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice O A. The slope of the line is ! (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a fraction.) B. The slope is undefined OK

Solution

The slope formula

m=(Y2-y1)/(X2-X1)

Since the two-point of the given line is

A(-1,5) and B(0,0)

A(X1, Y1) and B(X2,Y2)

Hence the slope of the line can be found out by any two points.

Hence Slope m=(0-5)/ {0-(-1)}

=-5/(+1)

=(-5)

So the slope of the line is (-5).

Hence option A is the correct answer.
