slope $=3/7$

The points are:
$(-2,1) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(5,4) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

The slope is calculated using formula:
slope $= (y_2-y_1) / (x_2-x_1)$

$=(4-1)/(5-(-2))$

$=3/(5+2)$

$=3/7$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (-2,1), (5, 4) (-2,1), (5, 4)?
