Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We can first find the slope of the line using the two given points:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x) = (13-5) / (4-(-6)) = 8/10 = 0.8

This means that for every 1-unit increase in x, there will be a 0.8 unit increase in y. Therefore, the correct answer is D) 0.8. To find the slope of the line passing through the two points, we use the formula:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

Substituting the given coordinates, we get:

slope = (13-5) / (4-(-6)) = 8/10 = 0.8

This means that for every 1 unit change in x, there is a corresponding 0.8 unit change in y. Therefore, the answer is D, 0.8.
