Answer: slope = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating slope is given as :
[tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
[tex]x_{1}=2[/tex]
[tex]x_{2}=4[/tex]
[tex]y_{1}=-5[/tex]
[tex]y_{2}=3[/tex]
substituting into the formula , we have :
[tex]m = \frac{3-(-5)}{4-2}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]m = 2[/tex]
Therefore : slope = 2
