Answer

So, the final answer is $1$ .

Steps

Step 1 ：Given two points (2,2) and (7,7).

Step 2 ：The formula to calculate the slope is $\frac{y 2 - y 1}{x 2 - x 1}$ .

Step 3 ：Substitute the given points into the formula, we get $\frac{7 - 2}{7 - 2}$ .

Step 4 ：Simplify the expression to get the slope as 1.

Step 5 ：So, the final answer is $1$ .
