Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{slope=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We have the points

[tex](-5;\ 3)\to x_1=-5;\ y_1=3\\(7;\ 9)\to x_2=7;\ y_2=9[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]m=\dfrac{9-3}{7-(-5)}=\dfrac{6}{7+5}=\dfrac{6}{12}=\dfrac{6:6}{12:6}=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula since we have 2 points

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (9-3)/( 7 - -5)

    = (9-3) /( 7+5)

   = 6/ 12

  = 1/2
