An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x and y axes extend from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Two points are plotted on the graph. An upward slanting line connects the two points. Point A is plotted at coordinates left parenthesis 1 comma negative 2 right parenthesis. Point B is plotted at left parenthesis 6 comma 1 right parenthesis.
Determine the slope of the line.

To determine the slope of the line, we can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
where (x1, y1) are the coordinates of point A and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of point B.
In this case, point A is (1, -2) and point B is (6, 1).
slope = (1 - (-2)) / (6 - 1)
slope = (1 + 2) / (6 - 1)
slope = 3 / 5
Therefore, the slope of the line is 3/5.
