Answer 2

The slope is 2.

Explanation:

We are going to call (0,0) the point where Corey began walking. If he walked three blocks east he would be at the point (3,0), once there he walks 6 blocks north and make it to the point (3,6)

The slope m of the line that passes through point (0,0) and (3,6) is

`m=(6-0)/(3-0) \\m=(6)/(3) \\m=2`
