First reorder the terms into slope intercept form, which would be y=1/6x+2. Using the rules of slope intercept the slope would just be 1/6. Hope this helped

Answer:


(1)/(6)

Explanation:

We are given that the equation of line


x-6y+12=0

We have to find the slope of the line.

To find the slope of the line we will convert the given equation into slope intercept form.

Slope-intercept form:


y=mx+C

Where m=Slope of line

C=y-Intercept value


x-6y+12=0

Adding 6y on both sides

Then, we get


x-6y+12+6y=6y


x+12=6y


6y=x+12


y=(1)/(6)(x+12)=(1)/(6)x+2

By comparing withe slope-intercept form

Then, we get m=
(1)/(6)

Hence, the slope of line=
(1)/(6)
