To find the slope of a line, we use the formula: 
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

Using the given data, we can calculate the change in y and change in x between any two points on the line. For example, between the first point (0, 50) and the second point (100, 250): 
change in y = 250 - 50 = 200 
change in x = 100 - 0 = 100

So, the slope between these two points would be: 
slope = (change in y) / (change in x) = 200 / 100 = 2

We can repeat this calculation for any two points on the line and get the same slope of 2. Therefore, we can conclude that the slope of the line is 2.
