to find the slope just get two points and use slope formula

you have points (2,7) (4,10) (6,13) and (8,16)

what is it though

ivettef365 · Answer

use formula to find slope

y2 - y1
------
x2 - x1

I did it though but I didn't get the right answer can you explain step by step?

ivettef365 · Answer

ok you have    
                          x,y  (1)       x,y  (2)
 points               (2,7)  and (4,10)

10 -7             3
-----   =   ------
4 - 2              2
