Question 986844
 I am trying to find the slope of a line that goes through the origin and the point(10,5) without graphing. I don't know what the origin is so I am very lost with this problem. I thought I could solve it using y-y1=m(x-x1) but it doesn't work. Please advise.

Note: The origin is the point (0,0)
-----
slope = m = (y-y1)/(x-x1) = (5-0)/(10-0) = 5/10 = 1/2
