1. Given the points (2, 3) and (5, 7), calculate the slope of the line that passes through these points.
2. Explain the meaning of slope in the context of a graph. How does it relate to the steepness of a line?
3. If the slope of a line is 4 and it passes through the point (1, 2), write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).
