Answer:

Explanations:

The formula for calculating the slope of a line is given as:


Slope=(\triangle y)/(\triangle x)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

For the coordinate point (-4, -1) and (-1, 5), the slope is given as:


\begin{gathered} Slope=(5-(-1))/(-1-(-4)) \\ Slope=(5+1)/(-1+4) \\ Slope=(6)/(3)=2 \end{gathered}

We need to choose the option that has a slope of 2. From the given option;

The equation 6x - 3y = 5 has a slope of -1/2 ()
