The slope is $3$

We can easily prove it by seen that when $x$ changes its value from $5$ to $7$ , $y$ changes it from $-3$ to $3$ .

So, when $x$ rises $2$ , $y$ rises 6.

So, when $x$ rises by $1$ , $y$ rises by $3$ ,

$(y-rise[6]) / (x-rise[2]$

simplified as

$(y-rise[3]) / (x-rise[1])$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (5,-3) , (7,3) (5,-3) , (7,3)?
