Answer:
The slope is 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line is equal to the rise over run, or in other words, the distance the line travels up over the distance the line travels right.

When we look at the two points, the second point is 3 to the right and 2 above the first. Therefore, the slope, or rise/run of the line is 2/3.

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions :)
