Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Gradient(slope) m = \(\frac{ y_2 - y_1}{ x_2 - x_1}\)

the points are  \((\frac{1}{2},  \frac{- 1}{3})  and  ( 3 , \frac{2}{3})\)

m = \(\frac{\frac{2}{3} - (\frac{-1}{3})}{3 - \frac{1}{2}}\)

=  \(\frac{\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{3}}{3 - \frac{1}{2}}\)

= \(1 \div\frac{5}{2}\) = \(1\times\frac{2}{5}\)           

Therefore, m = \(\frac{2}{5}\)
