Answer:

2/7

Explanation:

Use slope formula:

y2 - y1

_______

x2 - x1

Where the y coordinates (y2 and y1) are being divided by the x coordinates (x2 and x1). (x1, y1) is one pair of coordinates and (x2, y2) is the other.

Use the given points:

(3, 7)

(10, 9)

And plug them into the formula to find out the slope.

Let's call (3, 7) the first pair of coordinates and (10, 9) the second.

So,

y2 - y1

_______

x2 - x1

Substitute:

9 - 7

_____

10 - 3

= 2/7, the slope is 2/7.
