\mathbb{FINAL\:ANSWER:}


\huge\boxed{\sf\:Slope=3}}


\mathbb{SOLUTION\:WITH\:STEPS:}

Hi! Hope you are having a nice day!

We are given 2 points that the line passes through, so we can use the slope formula and find the slope.

Slope Formula:


\displaystyle(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)


\displaystyle(27-3)/(9-1)


\displaystyle(24)/(8)

The fraction can be reduced:


\displaystyle(3)/(1)

which is the same as


3

Hope you could understand everything.

Answer:

slope = 3

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 27 )

m =
(27-3)/(9-1) =
(24)/(8) = 3
