For the points you've given, the correct answer is not listed! One way to solve the problem is just to use a graph -- the points are not far away from the origin, and they have whole number coordinates. (See graph.)
Slopt = "rise" / "run" so to get from (2, 2) to (4, 3), you "rise" +1 and "run" +2. The slope is 1/2.
If the points are (2, 2) and (4, 3), then the slope would be 2.
You can always use a formula to find the slope:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] which tells the slope of a line joining points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex].
The formula says
Slope = (second y minus first y) / (second x minus first x)
It always works unless [tex]x_1=x_2[/tex], in which case the line is vertical and has NO defined slope.
