Answer:

Slope = 5/2

Explanation:

The equation of a line

y = mx + c

Where:

y = intercept point y

m = slope

x = intercept point x

c = intercept

The slope of the line

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Given

( 4 , 2) ( 6 , 7)

x1 = 4

y1 = 2

x2 = 6

y2 = 7

Insert the values into the equation

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = 7 - 2 / 6 - 4

= 5/2

The slope of the line is 5/2
