The given points are

(0.47, 0.4905)

(0.52, 0.6867)

(0.58, 0.8829)

(0.64, 1.0791)

The formula for calculating slope is expressed as

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

where

y2 and y1 are final and initial coordinates of y

x2 and x1 are final and initial coordinates of x

Picking these points from the given points, we have

when x1 = 0.52, y1 = 0.6867

when x2 = 0.58, y2 = 0.8829

slope = (0.8829 - 0.6867)/(0.58 - 0.52) = 0.1962/0.06

slope = 3.27

We would plot the corresponding x and y values on the line. The graph is shown below
