0-1
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the points are (5, 2) and (7, 8). Plugging these values into the formula:
m = (8 - 2) / (7 - 5)
m = 6 / 2
m = 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (5, 2) and (7, 8) is 3.
