what is the mathematical way to solving this, i used the slope formula but i dont know if that is the way to get answer. 

A small economy increased its capital per hour worked (K/L) from $40,000 to $50,000. As a result,
real GDP per worker (Y/L) grew from $20,000 to $25,000. If the economy increases its capital per
hour worked by another $10,000O to $60,000, but there is no change in technology, by how much
more and in what direction will output per worker change?
Output per worker will increase by exactly $5,000
