Answer:
[tex] slope(m) = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The line showing the run would be drawn from x = 0, to x = 8 on the x-axis.
The line showing the rise would be drawn from y = 0, to y = 6 on the y-axis.
(See attachment.)
The slope can be calculated using the coordinates (0, 0) and (8, 6) as shown below:
[tex] slope(m) = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \frac{6 - 0}{8 - 0} = \frac{6}{8} [/tex]
[tex] slope(m) = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
