2

Explanation:

Slope is change in y over change in x. Change in y is 19-11, or 8, and change in x is 21-17, or 4. You would get #8/4#, or just simply 2.

#"slope "=2#

Explanation:

#"to calculate the slope m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"#

#•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

#"let "(x_1,y_1)=(17,11)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(21,19)#

#rArrm=(19-11)/(21-17)=8/4=2#
