Answer 1

D 2/3

Explanation:

Rise over run. The x values is -3 and 9 which is the distance or run between the dots. Find the distance by finding which number is between then so -3+x=9 where x is 12. The y values are -7 and 1. Find y where -7+y=1 where y is 8. That is the rise. So the rise is 8 and that is over the run, 12, gives you 8/12 which can be simplified to 2/3.
