or .6?

6 Is not an answer choice

well, the slop is just the how far up and over it goes, so from point 3,5 to 6,10 it goes up three and over 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don' see a slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iGreen please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can find the slope with the data from the two points: \[m=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\] use: \[p_1=(3,5)\] \[p_2=(6,10)\] try that!
