Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passes through to points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(y_1,y_2)$, then the slope of line is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Given points are (4,-7) and (6,3).

The slope between given points is

$m=\frac{3-(-7)}{6-4}$

$m=\frac{3+7}{2}$

On further simplification we get

$m=\frac{10}{2}$

$m=5$

Therefore the correct option is 3.
