The high-low method involves selecting the highest and lowest data points and using them to calculate the slope of the line. Using the coordinates provided, we can determine the highest point to be (10,24) and the lowest point to be (1,12). Therefore, the slope is (24-12)/(10-1) = 1.2. The answer is therefore choice C.
