• Coordinates (x, y)
• Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (6, 2)

Point (9, 8)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                            $\displaystyle m=\frac{8-2}{9-6}$
2. [Fraction] Subtract:                                                                                         $\displaystyle m=\frac{6}{3}$
3. [Fraction] Divide:                                                                                            $\displaystyle m=2$
