Answer:

The slope is 2.

Explanation:

Slope formula is rise/run. So in other words, it is y2-y1/x2-x1. In this case it would be 12-8/3-1. That equals 4/2. You need to simplify that by dividing both 4 and 2 by 2. So, that gives you 2/1. Whenever you have a number over 1 that is the same as saying just the numerator. So the slope would be 2.
