Answer:

The slope of the line is 1

Explanation:

the formula for slope is

y¹-y²

-----

x¹-x²

y¹ and x¹ can be either of the points.

So let's make it (6,5)

This means that y² and x² will be (8,7)

The equation will be

5-7d -2

----- = ---

6-8 -2

which can be simplified to 1 by divied both by -2
