Answer:

The slope is 2

Explanation:

The slope of a line passing through two points is given by:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

which is the difference between the y-coordinates of two points divided by the difference between x-coordinates of two points

We are given:

Difference between x-coordinates = 3

Difference between y-coordinates = 6

So,


m = (6)/(3)\\=2

The slope of the line that passes through these points is 2 ..
