Respuesta :

M = 1-(-5) / 4-2
M = 6/2
M = 3

The slope is 3

Answer:

The slope is 3 (answer choice A).

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at the two given points, (2, -5) and (4, 1).  As we move from the first point to the second, x increases by 2 and y increases by 6, so that the slope is m = 6/2, or 3.
