A line that goes through the origin and the point (10, 5)

Question

I need to know the slope

Answer 1

You have two points because the origin is (0,0).

 

With 2 points , you can find the slope, because the slope = change in y over change in x.

 

So, 5-0 = 5 and 10 -0 = 10.  

 

Therefore the slope is 5/10 or 1/2.
