B: 0
C: 2
D: undefined

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\large\text{Slope of a line formula is: }\mathsf{(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = slope}`

`\large\text{Which simply translate to: }\mathsf{(rise)/(run) = slope}`

`\large\text{Or even this: }\mathsf{(\triangle_y)/(\triangle_x)}`

`\large\text{Let us label your information, so we can know what your equation}\\\large\text{should look like:}`

`\mathsf{y_2 = 10}\\\\\mathsf{y_1 = 7}`

`\mathsf{x_2 = -1}\\\\\mathsf{x_1 = -7}`

`\large\text{Your equation: }\mathsf{(10 - 7)/(-1 - -7) = slope}`

`\large\text{Solving:}`

`\mathsf{(10 - 7)/(-1 - -7) = slope}`

`\mathsf{(10 - 7)/(-1 + 7) = slope}`

`\mathsf{(3)/(6) = slope}`

`\mathsf{(3/1)/(6/2) = slope}`

`\mathsf{(1)/(2) = slope}`

`\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{Option\ A. \ (1)/(2)}}}\huge\checkmark`
