Answer:

The answer to your question is 2

Explanation:

Process

To solve this problem, just choose two sets of points and use the slope formula to find it.

Formula

slope = (y2 - y1) /(x2 - x1)

- I chose the first two points

Point 1 (5, -3)

Point 2 (6, -1)

x1 = 5 y1 = -3 x2 = 6 y2 = -1

-Substitution

slope = (-1 + 3) / (6 - 5)

-Simplification

slope = 2 / 1

-Result

slope = 2
