Answer: The correct option is

(B)
(1)/(3).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the slope of the line shown on the graph.

We note that

the line on the graph passes through the points (3, -4) and (6, -3).

The slope of a straight line passing through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by


m=(d-b)/(c-a).

Therefore, the slope of the given line is


m=(-3-(-4))/(6-3)\\\\\\\Rightarrow m=(-3+4)/(3)\\\\\\\Rightarrow m=(1)/(3).

Thus, the required slope of the line is
(1)/(3).

Option (B) is CORRECT.
