Solution:

Slope of line joining two points ,


(x_(1),y_(1)) ,(x_(2),y_(2)) , is =(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))

Take any two points that is , ordered pairs =(abscissa and Ordinate ), among four points given,suppose , (10,14) and (2,-2) or (2,-2) and (7,8).


=(14+2)/(10-2)\\\\=(16)/(8)=2 {\text{or}}, (8-(-2))/(7-2)\\\\=(10)/(5)=2

So, if you choose any two distinct ordered pairs and find the slope between them using slope between two points , it will be equal to , 2.

Option D: 2
