The X and Y coordinates (in meters) of station Shore are 246.060 and 660.974, respectively, and those for station Rock are 437.279 and 973.738, respectively. What is the slope of the line

1.636

Explanation:

Slope is given by change in y coordinates against change in x coordinates. Here, change in y will be 973.738-660.974 = 312.764 and change in x will be 437.279-246.060=191.219

The slope, m will be 312.764/191.219=1.6356324423828

Rounding off, the slope is 1.636 to four significant figures
