Solution

The correct option is C $\frac{3}{2}$
Let the points ( $x_{1}$ , $y_{1}$ ) and ( $x_{2}$ , $y_{2}$ ) be (2, 1) and (6, 7) respectively.

Slope of a line joining two points $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ $= \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{7 - 1}{6 - 2} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}$
