Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
By process of elimination, we can say for sure that C and D are not the right answers because as x- the numbers on the top- increases, y- the numbers on the bottom- increases. This means that the slope is not negative, because the slope is the rate of change and it does not have a negative rate of change.
The equation for slope is y2-y1 / x2-x1. Meaning, y is on top and x is on bottom. This creates a fraction. So let's take 0 and 1 for X, the first and second values, and 3 and 8 for y, the first and second values. We swap them, because the second y value comes first, so we have 8 - 3 for the top, the numerator. Then we have 1 - 0 for the bottom, the denominator. Solving 8 - 3 and 1 - 0, we have 5/1. 5/1 simplifies to 5, and thus 5 is your slope.
