The two points that have a slope of 3/4 are A (1,3) and E (5,6).

To determine which two points have a slope of 3/4, we use the formula for slope between two points (m):

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

We need to find which pair of points, when plugged into the formula, gives us a slope (m) of 3/4. Let's calculate the slope between each pair of points:

Slope between A (1,3) and B (2,-4): m = (-4 - 3) / (2 - 1) = -7/1 = -7

Slope between A (1,3) and C (3,0): m = (0 - 3) / (3 - 1) = -3/2 = -1.5

Slope between A (1,3) and D (4,5): m = (5 - 3) / (4 - 1) = 2/3

Slope between A (1,3) and E (5,6): m = (6 - 3) / (5 - 1) = 3/4

Slope between B (2,-4) and C (3,0): m = (0 - (-4)) / (3 - 2) = 4/1 = 4

Slope between B (2,-4) and D (4,5): m = (5 - (-4)) / (4 - 2) = 9/2 = 4.5

Slope between B (2,-4) and E (5,6): m = (6 - (-4)) / (5 - 2) = 10/3

Slope between C (3,0) and D (4,5): m = (5 - 0) / (4 - 3) = 5/1 = 5

Slope between C (3,0) and E (5,6): m = (6 - 0) / (5 - 3) = 6/2 = 3

Slope between D (4,5) and E (5,6): m = (6 - 5) / (5 - 4) = 1/1 = 1

The only pair of points that has a slope of 3/4 is between points A (1,3) and E (5,6).

The probable question may be: "of the following points which two have a slope of 3/4?

A) (1,3)

B) (2,-4)

c) (3,0)

D) (4, 5)

E) (5,6)"
