Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

We are given to find the slope of the line shown on the graph.

We note that

the line on the graph passes through the points (3, -4) and (6, -3).

The slope of a straight line passing through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.m=

c−a

d−b

.

Therefore, the slope of the given line is

\begin{lgathered}m=\dfrac{-3-(-4)}{6-3}\\\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{-3+4}{3}\\\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{1}{3}.\end{lgathered}

m=

6−3

−3−(−4)

⇒m=

3

−3+4

⇒m=

3

1

.

Thus, the required slope of the line is \dfrac{1}{3}.

3

1

.

Option (B) is CORRECT.
