$7/5$

Slope of a line passing passing through two points $A(x_1,y_1)$ and $B(x_2,y_2)$ is given by

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

Here Let $A(x_1,y_1)$ represent $(3,5)$ and $B(x_2,y_2)$ represent $(8,12)$ .

Slope of given points $=(12-5)/(8-3)=7/5$

Hence the slope of line passing through the given points is $7/5$ .

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (3,5) (8,12)(3,5) (8,12)?
