The slope of the line represented by the equation y = x/6 - 1/2 is 1/6.
Correct option is C.
Given that an equation y = x/6 - 1/2, we need to find the slope of the line represented by this equation,
The equation you've provided is in the form of a** linear equation**, y = mx + b, where "m" represents the slope of the line and "b" represents the y-intercept.
In your equation, y = x/6 - 1/2, the coefficient of "x" is 1/6, which corresponds to the slope of the line.
So, the slope (m) is 1/6.
Hence, the slope of the line is 1/6.
Correct option is C.

The slope of the line given by the equation y = 6 1 ​ x − 2 1 ​ is 6 1 ​ . This means that for every 6 units you move horizontally to the right, the line rises by 1 unit vertically.
