Problem

Given the data points (2,5) and (6,14), find the slope of the line that passes through these points.

Solution

Step 1 :First, recall that the formula for finding the slope between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is \(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\).

Step 2 :Plugging in the given points into the formula, we get \(m = \frac{14 - 5}{6 - 2} = \frac{9}{4}\).
