Answer:

3

Explanation:

Lets use the slope formula, Which is given as :-


\sf{ (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) }

Substitute the points we have to the formula :-


\begin{gathered}\sf \longmapsto {(16 - 7)/(7-4 )} \\ \sf{ \longmapsto {(9)/(3)} \\ \sf{\longmapsto 3} \end{gathered}

Thus, The correct answer is 3!!
