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]
