EXPLANATION

The slope intercept form definition

y= mx + b is the slope intercept form of a line where m is the slope and b is the y -intercept

Slope between two points:


\text{Slope}=((y_2-y_1))/((x_2-x_1))

(x1,y1) = (3,4) , (x2,y2) = (0,-2)


m=(-2-4)/(0-3)

Refine

m=2

The slope of the line that passes through the points (3,4) and (0,-2) is m=2
