Answer:

1/7x or 1/7

Explanation:

the equation for slope is

y2-y1 over x2 minus x1, so basically it means that you find the second x which in this case is 12 and subtract the first x which is 5. 12-5 is 7

You also do -7 minus -6 for the y2-y1 stuff so it is -7 plus 6 cuz the double - signs cancel out to positive.

-7 + 6 is 1

1 over 7 is 1/7
