Slope = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Reading your description carefully, the equation of line has been given to be

When we compare this with the standard form of a straight line

We immediately see that the slope or gradient m = 6.

Alternatively, when we consider the coordinates of the points mentioned, we have

(1, 5)    ;     (0, -1)     ;     (-1, -7)

We can take any two points out of these three and calculate the slope using the formula

For example, let us consider the points (1, 5) and (-1, -7)

Here x₁ = 1; x₂ = -1 and y₁ = 5; y₂ = -7

Plugging the numbers in the above formula, we have

This agrees with what we calculated directly from the equation of the line!

Hence, slope of the line on the graph = 6
