Answer:

D.
(6)/(5)

Explanation:

Hello

I think I can help you with this.

if we have two points on the line we can find the slope using the following expression

$P1(x_(1),y_(1) )P2(x_(2) ,y_(2))\\ \\m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))$

Now, let´s use our data

$P1(x_(1),y_(1) )P2(x_(2) ,y_(2))\\ P1(5,11)\\P2(-5,-1)\\\\so\\m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))\\m=(-1-11)/(-5-5)\\m=(-12)/(-10) \\m=(6)/(5)$

the slope of the line shown is 6/5

Have a fantastic day
