B.
–1

C.
1

D.
5

Answer 1

Hi there! Think of x as 2 and 6 and think of y as 8 and 12. 8-12/2-6=-4/-4. Now, -4/-4=1. Therefore, the answer is C. 1

Answer 2

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: $\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}$

$\frac{12-8=4}{6-2=4}=\frac{4}{4}=1$

Slope is 1.

Answer is 1.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
