Answer: 5
Remember Rise over Run when you solve for slope.
First, find 2 points that are EXACT numbers.
You already have 3 marked, so just choose 2 to use.
You want to use the point farthest on the left out of the 2 you choose.
I used the top 2 points it gives you. For this, start with the point at (0, -1.)
Moving on the y-axis, count how many times you have to "rise" to reach the other point. It helps to draw a line!
To get from (0, -1) to (1,5) on the y-axis, you move 6 units,
Repeat for the x-axis, and move to the right.
You move once to reach the x-axis point.
Rise over Run is displayed as a fraction ([tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]), so put your numbers into fraction form, with the times you "rose" over the times you "ran."
This gives us a fraction of [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex] which simplifies to 6.
