We could use the "formula,"  but we don't really have to.......

 

Subtract the y coordinates in any order   →  5/2 - 3/2   = 2/2  = 1

 

Subtract the x coordinates in the same order  →   11/4 - 3/4   = 8/4  = 2

 

Put the first result over the second  =   1 / 2     .......this is the slope......

 

 

cool cool cool

here is the formula ---> \(y_2 - y_1 \over x_2 -x_1\)

x1=3/4

y1=3/2

x2=11/4

y2=5/2
