Always remember it is RISE over run

Slope is equivalent to rise over run, or the change in y / change in x between two given (distinct) points on the line. Let's look at the x and y intercepts which are 10 and -6 respectively. Over a distance of 10 units, the graph rises by 6, meaning that rise / run = 6/10 = a slope of 3/5

Find the slope of the line shown.

Hello monkeyree!

The 2-point equation helps here.

  $P_1(10;0)\\ P_2(0;-6)$

$\large m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ 

$\large m=\frac{-6-0}{0-10}$

$\large m=\frac{3}{5}$

The slope of the displayed line is $\frac{3}{5}$.

The function of the line shown is  $y=\frac{3}{5}x-6$
