The slope of a line is a number that measures its "steepness", usually denoted by the letter m. It is the change in y for a unit change in x along the line. Therefore, the slope of the line with the given points would be :

slope = (b - 0) / (a - 0) = b/a

Answer:

The slope is [tex]\frac{b}{a}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the slope of a line passes through the points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] is,

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Thus, the slope of the line that contains the points named E(0, 0) and F(a, b) is,

[tex]m=\frac{b-0}{a-0}=\frac{b}{a}[/tex]
