Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

Keep the first fraction, change division to multiplication and find the reciprocal(multiplicative inverse) of the second fraction

Answer: The slope is: "3" ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.
______________________________________________
The slope, "m" is calculated as follows:
___________________________________
Given two coordinates on a line;
m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) ;
__________________________________________
We are given the following 2 (TWO) coordinates:
__________________________________________
1) (5,2) ; which is: (x₁ ,y₁) ; so x₁ = 5 ; y₁ = 2 ; AND:
2) (7,8); which is: (x₂ ,y₂) ; so x₂ = 7; y₂ = 8 ;
_____________________________________________
So; m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) = (8−2) /.(7−5) = 6/2 = 3 .
m = 3. The slope is: 3 ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.

Alternately,
______________________________________________
We are given the following 2 (TWO) coordinates:
__________________________________________
1) (7,8) ; which is: (x₁ ,y₁) ; so x₁ = 7 ; y₁ = 8 ; AND:
2) (5,2); which is: (x₂ ,y₂) ; so x₂ = 5; y₂ = 2 ;
______________________________________________
So; m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) = (2−8) / (5−7) = -6/-2 = 3 .
m = 3. The slope is 3 ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.

Answer:
There is no plug-in for x.
X=0.
(0+4) - (0-1) = [(4 - (-1)] = 5.
