Answer: 4

Explanation:

The slope of a line passing through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

m=(d-b)/(c-a)

The given points : (2, 12) and (4, 20)

Then , the slope of a line passing through two points (2, 12) and (4, 20) is given by :-

$m=(20-12)/(4-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\m=4$

Hence, the slope of the line through the points (2, 12) and (4, 20) = 4
