Answer:

The slope is 3 and the line is rising.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope m of a line given two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) we can use the formula:

m = (y₂-y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

In this problem we have the points (6,2) and (7,5), substituting these values in the formula we get:

m = (5 - 2) / (7 - 6) = 3/1 = 3

Therefore, the slope is 3.

Given that the slope is positive we can conclude that the line through the points rises.
