Answer:

The slope is m=7

Explanation:

The Slope of a Line

Suppose we have a line that passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the formula:


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

We are given the points (3,5) and (4,12), thus: x1=3, y1=5, x2=4, y2=12. Substituting:


\displaystyle m=(12-5)/(4-3)=(7)/(1)=7

The slope is m=7
