When we need to find the slope of an equation and only have the 2 sets of points we can use the equation Δy / Δx (or the change in y over the change in x which means take the y from the second set of points and subtract the y from the first set of points and the same goes for the x's)

5 - 3
/ 7 - -5
= 2/12
= 1/6

So the answer is B

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: [tex]\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5-3=2}{7-(-5)=7+5=12}=\frac{2}{12}=\frac{2/2}{12/2}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Slope is 1/6

Answer is 1/6

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
