The slope of a line can be found using the formula "rise over run," which is the change in y-values divided by the change in x-values. Looking at the given responses, we can determine the slope by comparing the change in y-values to the change in x-values.

Comparing the first and last points, the change in y-values is from -1 to 1, which is a difference of 2. The change in x-values is from 6 to -6, which is a difference of 12.

So, the slope is 2/12 or 1/6.

C. 1/6
