\text{The slope of the line is }(1)/(3)

Here, we want to find the value of the slope

To do this, we will need to select two points on the graph

Any two points selected will sufice as far as they are reasonably apart to draw the slope triangle

The points we are seecting are (6,3) and (9,4)

Mathematically, the slope formula is as follows;


\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m\text{ = }(4-3)/(9-6) \\ \\ m\text{ = }(1)/(3) \end{gathered}
