Answer:

The slope of the line is m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the point-slope equation:

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

Where:

[tex](x_{1},y_{1})[/tex] is the coordinate of the first point

[tex](x_{2},y_{2})[/tex] is the coordinate of the second point

Here, we can use any pair of points. Let's chose

[tex](x_{1},y_{1})=(0,5)[/tex]

[tex](x_{2},y_{2})=(1,7)[/tex]

Using these points in our slope equation, we have:

[tex]m=\frac{7-5}{1-0}[/tex]    

[tex]m=\frac{2}{1}[/tex]  

Therefore the slope of the line is m = 2.

I hope it helps you!
