The slope equals $m = \frac{1}{2}$ $m =1/2$

Slope which is the change in $x$ $x$ versus the change in $y$ $y$ .

Slope is identified by the letter $m$ $m$

$m = (Deltay)/(Deltax)$

$m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$(2,6)$ and $(4,7)$

$x_1=2$
$y_1=6$
$x_2=4$
$y_2=7$

$m = (7-6)/(4-2)$

$m = 1/2$

The slope equals $m =1/2$
