It Does Not Matter Where You Put The Line, As The Slope Stays The Same. So, We Can Say That One Point Is (3,0)
(3,0) and (6,6)
So, The Slope Is 2.

Answer:

Slope of the line is Option A. 2

Explanation:

In this question it has been given that difference in the x-coordinates of two points is 3 and difference in y-coordinates of the two points is 6.

Now we have to calculate the slope of the line passing through these two points.

We know that if a line passes through two points having coordinates (x, y) and (x', y'), the slope of the line will be = (y-y')/(x-x')

Since y - y' = 6 and x - x' = 3

Then slope = 6/3 = 2

2 is the slope of the line.
