Question 1104860: Find the slope of the line containing the given pair of points.
(2, 4) and (8, 13)

Slope is rise over run ((change in y value) / (change in x value))
You have two points (x1,y1) = (2,4) and (x2,y2) = (8,13)
slope = m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
You should be able to substitute the numbers to come up with m=3/2.
