The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the formula:

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

Using the given points:
(x1, y1) = (-1, 5)
(x2, y2) = (6, 11)

slope = (11 - 5) / (6 - (-1))
slope = 6 / 7

So, the slope of the line passing through the points (-1,5) and (6, 11) is 6/7.
