SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the given points


(15,12)\text{ }and\text{ }(5,9)

STEP 2: find the slope of the line that passes through the given points

Formula of slope ius given by:


\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Substitute the values to get the slope:


\begin{gathered} \left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(15,\:12\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(5,\:9\right) \\ m=(9-12)/(5-15) \\ m=(3)/(10) \end{gathered}

Hence, the slope is 3/10
