Answer:

2 (Answer D)

Explanation:

The green line has a positive slope, so we can immediately reject Answers A and B.

A line with a slope of +2 rises steeply as we move from left to right, whereas a line with slope +1/2 rises much less steeply. Also, it's quite clear, visually, that the slope of the given line is greater than 1. Thus, the slope of the given line is +2 (Answer D).
