Answer:
- [tex]\Large\boxed{\sf{3}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula.
[tex]\underline{\text{SLOPE:}}[/tex]
[tex]\longrightarrow: \sf{\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{rise}{run} }[/tex]
Solve.
[tex]\Longrightarrow: \sf{\dfrac{7-1}{4-2}= \dfrac{6}{2}=\boxed{\sf{3}}[/tex]
- Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (2,1) and (4,7) is 3, which is the correct answer.
