Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify Two Points on the Line

Identify two points on the line to calculate the slope. From the graph, we can see that the line passes through the points \((0, 0)\) and \((4, 4)\).

Step 2: Calculate the Rise

The rise is the change in the y-coordinates of the two points. For the points \((0, 0)\) and \((4, 4)\), the rise is: \[ 4 - 0 = 4 \]

Step 3: Calculate the Run

The run is the change in the x-coordinates of the two points. For the points \((0, 0)\) and \((4, 4)\), the run is: \[ 4 - 0 = 4 \]

Step 4: Calculate the Slope

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run: \[ \text{slope} = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{4}{4} = 1 \]

Final Answer

The slope of the line in simplest form is \(1\).
