Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the formula for slope given two points, 
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the given points.
Plugging in the values of the given points, we get:
slope = (6-2)/(4-1) = 4/3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given points is 2. Choice C) is the correct answer.
