Answer:


m=
(7)/(3)

Explanation:

First, Let's use the given formula to find the slope of the line.


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


x_(1)=2\\x_(2)=5 \\y_(1) =-3\\y_(2)= 4\\\\

Step 1: Plug the variables into the given formula:


m=(4-(-3))/(5-2)

Step 2: Solve!


m=(4+3)/(3)


m=(7)/(3)

The slope of the line is 7/3.
