Answer: Choice C) 1/3

------------------------------------------------

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on this line are (0,2) and (3,3)
Let (x1,y1) = (0,2) and (x2,y2) = (3,3)
We can use the slope formula to get

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (3 - 2)/(3 - 0)
m = 1/3

which is why the answer is choice C. The slope of 1/3 means that each time you rise 1 unit, you run 3 units to the right. In other words,

rise/run = 1/3
