EXPLANATION

The slope of a line, is given by the next expression:

[tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Where (x_1,y_1) = (2,8) and (x_2,y_2)=(12,20)

Plugging in the values into the expression:

[tex]Slope=\frac{20-8}{12-2}[/tex]

Subtracting numbers:

[tex]Slope=\frac{12}{10}[/tex]

Simplifying:

[tex]Slope=\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

In conclusion, the solution is 6/5
