What is the slope of the line shown below?10(-6,3)5(12,5)5101610OAA.6B. -6C. -D. 6

Consider that the slope (m) of a line passing through two given points is calculated using the formula,
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]It is evident from the graph that points (-6,3) and (12,6) lie on the line,
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(-6,3) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(12,6) \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, substitute the values in the formula to obtain the slope of the given line,
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{6-3}{12-(-6)} \\ m=\frac{3}{12+6} \\ m=\frac{3}{18} \\ m=\frac{3}{6\cdot3} \\ m=\frac{1}{6} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the slope of the given line is,
[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]Therefore, option A is the correct choice.
