m=3/4m=34

Explanation:

Given

P_1(x_1;y_1)=(2;1)P1(x1;y1)=(2;1)

P_2(x_2,y_2)=(6;4)P2(x2,y2)=(6;4)

the Slope is

m=(Deltay)/(Deltax)=(y_2−y_1)/(x_2−x_1)

m=(4-1)/(6-2)=3/4

The slope = (4-1)/ (6-2) = 3/4

Explanation:

In general for any Cartesian coordinates
A(x_1, y_1) and B(x_2, y_2)
the slope is = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1
