Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope we must use the following formula:


m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Now we must locate at the points given in the exercise which correspond to x and which correspond to y

Points: (5, 4) (11, 10)

x1 y1 x2 y2

Now we must replace the points correctly in the formula;


\begin{gathered} m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) \\ m=(10-4)/(11-5) \\ m=(6)/(6) \\ m=1 \\ \text{ANSWER; The slope is }positive \end{gathered}
