Answer:

C). 2

Explanation:

slope is rise over run, which is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(3,3) will be (x1,y1) and (5,7) will be (x2,y2)

that means it's (7-3)/(5-1)

if u simplify, it equals 4/2 which is also 2

2 is C, so the answer is C

Hope this helps!

Answer: C. 2

Explanation:

Subtract the y coordinates over the subtraction of the x coordinates

(3 - 7) / (3 - 5)

-4 / -2 = 2
