Answer 1

The slope of the line is m = 2

Explanation:

We can use the point-slope equation:

`m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

Where:

`(x_(1),y_(1))` is the coordinate of the first point

`(x_(2),y_(2))` is the coordinate of the second point

Here, we can use any pair of points. Let's chose

`(x_(1),y_(1))=(0,5)`

`(x_(2),y_(2))=(1,7)`

Using these points in our slope equation, we have:

`m=(7-5)/(1-0)`

`m=(2)/(1)`

Therefore the slope of the line is m = 2.

I hope it helps you!
