Answer:

4.5 or
(9)/(2)

Explanation:

I selected 2 points on this graph those points being:

(2,9) and (4, 18)

The equation you'd want to use is


M=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

so filling in each of the point we'd have this for our equation


M=(18-9)/(4-2)

when you do the subtraction for both we'd get


M=(9)/(2)

Now if you were asked to get a number instead of a fractions you could divide 9 & 2 and get quotient of 4.5

I hope this helps
