Let's re-evaluate the problem to find where the discrepancy lies.

### Re-evaluation of the Points:
Let's correctly identify the two points on the line from the graph:

- **Point 1:** \((2, 2)\)
- **Point 2:** \((6, 7)\)

### Slope Calculation:
Using the formula for slope \( m \):
\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

Substituting the points \((2, 2)\) and \((6, 7)\):
\[
m = \frac{7 - 2}{6 - 2} = \frac{5}{4}
\]

### Correct Answer:
The correct slope of the line is indeed \(\frac{5}{4}\).
