In order to find the slope of the given line, use the following formula:

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

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two pair of points of the given table.

Use

(x1,y1) = (3,5)

(x2,y2) = (5,10)

replace the previous values of the parameters into the formula for m:

m = (10 - 5)/(5 - 3)

m = 5/2

m = 2.5

Hence, the slope of the line is 5/2 or 2.5
