Answer: The required slope is 2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the slope between the points where x = 3 and x = 7 from the following table :

x 3 4 7

y 1 6 9

We know that

the slope of a line between the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

m=(d-b)/(c-a).

At x = 3, y = 1 and at x = 7, y = 9.

Therefore, the slope between the points (3, 1) and (7, 9) is given by

m=(9-1)/(7-3)=(8)/(4)=2.

Thus, the required slope is 2.
