Answer:

A. 1/6

The slope is 1/6.

Explanation:

The slope formula is
\Rightarrow\displaystyle (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(rise)/(run).


y_2=6\\y_1=3\\x_2=12\\x_1=(-6)\\


\displaystyle(6-3)/(12-(-6))=(3)/(18)=(3/3)/(18/3)=(1)/(6)


\large\textnormal{Therefore, the slope is 1/6.}

Answer:

1/6

Explanation:

To find slope here, I'm going to use that slope is rise/run.

I'm going to start at the left dot. How much would I need to go to be on same level as the right point? Up 3.

Now that we are on the same level, how many units right would I need to travel to get to the right point? Right 18.

The slope is 3/18.

You can reduce this to 1/6.
