The slope is the gradient and for cords $" "(x_1,y_1)" "$ & $" "(x_2,y_2)$

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

in this case

$m=(6-2)/(5-3)=4/2=2$

$m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=2$ .

Slope, $m$ , is defined as the change in $y$ divided by the change in $x$ , or $m=(Deltay)/(Deltax)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(6-2)/(5-2)=4/2=2$ .
