#1/4#

Explanation:

The formula for slope is "#(rise)/(run#" where rise is the change in the #y# value and run is the change in the #x# value.

Since you already have the changes in #y# and #x# respectively, you can simply put it into the formula.

#(rise)/(run)=3/12#

Simplified, the slope is #1/4#
