The answer is #1/2#.

Explanation:

First, take any two values for #x# and #y# that lie on the given line

Here, let us take #(7,7)# and #(-1,3)# (These values lie on the line of in the equation).

Now apply the formula of the slope that is

#"slope" = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

and we get the answer #1/2#.

#"slope" = (3 - 7)/(-1-7) = 1/2#
