A line passes through the origin and the point (3, 5). What is the slope of the line?

Question

The answer choices are;

A.0

B.-3/5

C.5/3

D.3/5

 

Answer 1

Here's help to get you started: slope is found by measuring the rise (change in y) divided by the run (change in x). 

Answer 2

Hey Hayden,

 

Slope of the line = (y₂ - y₁) / ( x₂ - x₁)

 

 

= (5 - 0) / ( 3 - 0 )

 

= 5 / 3

 

 

Your answer choice ought to be C. Using the formula I have shown above. Good luck with the rest of your problem.
