What is the slope of the line shown below?

A little note to eliminate the answer choices, The line you see will have a Positive slope because it is facing the positive sign. This can eliminate the Answer choices C and d
To solve the slope, the formula is
Change of Y/ Change of X In this problem the Formula will be
8-2/ 5-(-7) if we plug in our numbers
Solve this step by step
8-2 is 6, 5-(-7 is 12. (Since Negative and Negative together is positive)
Our new slope is 6/12 wich is equal to 1/2
Thefore the answer is 1/2
I hope this helped.
Ps. Brianlistes would really help
Answer:
A. 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the change in y over the change in x.
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m=\frac{8-2}{5-(-7)}\\\\m=\frac{6}{12}\\\\m=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
