Verified Answer :

slope= y2-y1
          x2-x1
So in this case 7-1=6
                       2-0=2
This makes the answer 3

slope is \(\frac { y_{2} - y_{1}}{ x_{2} - x_{1}}\)

if we plug in your coordinates we get:
\(\frac { y_{2} - y_{1}}{ x_{2} - x_{1}} \\ \frac {7-1}{2-0} \\ \frac {6}{2} \\ 3\)

Therefore, the slope of (0,1) and (2,7) is 3.
