The slope of the line is C. 3/5.

You can calculate the slope of a line by using the "rise over run" method. The rise is the vertical change between two points on the line, and the run is the horizontal change between those same two points. In the image, you can choose any two points on the line.

For example, you could use the points (1,2) and (4,6). The rise is 6−2=4, and the run is 4−1=3.

Therefore, the slope is
4 / 3=(3)/(5)

The answer choices A, B, and D are all incorrect. Choice A, −5/3, is the negative reciprocal of the correct slope. Choice B, −3/5, is the negative of the correct slope. Choice D, 5/3, is the reciprocal of the negative of the correct slope.
