Slope = change in y/change in x
Change in y = 7-2 = 5
Change in x = 6-4 = 2
Slope = 5/2 = 2.5

Slope = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
Slope = (7-2)/(6-4)
Slope = 5/2
Slope = 2.5
Dont forget the points.
Greetings.

Plot the two points (6,7) and (4,2). Join them with a straight line. The change in y is 7 - 2 = 5, and the corresponding change in x is 4 - 2 = 2, so the gradient is 5/2.

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
slope = (7-2) / (6-4) = 5/2

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(7-2)/(6-4)=5/2
