The slope of the given line is 5/2.

<h3>How to get the slope of the line?</h3>

The general linear equation can be written in the slope-intercept form as:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope.

Here we have the equation:

y - 4 = (5/2)*(x - 2)

If we isolate y and expand the product in the right, we get:

y = (5/2)*(x - 2) + 4

y = (5/2)*x - (5/2)*2 + 4

y = (5/2)*x - 5 + 4

y = (5/2)*x - 1

This is the linear equation in the slope-intercept form, as you can see, the slope is equal to 5/2.
