The slope of a line characterizes the direction of a line. To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points .

Answer:

2/5

Explanation:

The slope of a line is given by

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

= (4-2)/(3--2)

= (4-2)/(3+2)

=2/5
