Answer:

slope = $\frac{2}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

= (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 5)

m = $\frac{5-3}{1+6}$ = $\frac{2}{7}$

Do rise (change in y) over run (change in x):
(5 - 3)/(1 + 6) = 2/7
The slope is 2/7
