#m=1.8#

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line that passes between two points we use what's called the gradient formula:
#m=# rise/run
#m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)#
Where #m# is the gradient, #(x1,y1)# are the coordinates of the first point, and #(x2,y2)# are the coordinates of the other point.
Note that the answer will be the same no matter which point you call the first point
By inputting the data given in the question, we can get the answer:
#m = (212-32)/(100-0)#
#= 180/100#
#=1.8#
