Answer

Step 3: Simplify the expression to find the slope. So, \(m = \frac{4}{2} = 2\)

Steps

Step 1 ：Step 1: Recall the formula for finding the slope of a line given two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is \(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)

Step 2 ：Step 2: Substitute the given points into the formula. So, \(x_1 = 2, y_1 = 3, x_2 = 4, y_2 = 7\). Hence, \(m = \frac{7 - 3}{4 - 2}\)

Step 3 ：Step 3: Simplify the expression to find the slope. So, \(m = \frac{4}{2} = 2\)
