To find the slope of the graph, we have to use the following formula:


m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Replace for the given coordinates:


m=(6-(-4))/(7-(-7))=(10)/(14)=(5)/(7)

When looking at the graph we can observe that the y intercept is 1.

It means that the answer is B) the slope is 5/7 and the y-intercept is 1.
