slope is rise over run. So you "rise" 6 spaces from -1 to 5 and then you "run" 5 spaces to the right i believe it will be 6/5.

Answer: D
(6)/(5)

Explanation:

The slope of a line passing through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$\text{Slope}=(d-b)/(c-a)$

From the given figure, we can see that the line is passing from the points (-5, - 1) ans (5,11).

Then , the slope of the given line will be :-

$\text{Slope}=(11-(-1))/(5-(-5))\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Slope}=(12)/(10)=(6)/(5)$

Hence, the slope of the given line =
(6)/(5)
