Given the points:
A (4, 5)
B(9, 7)
x1 = 4
x2 = 9
y1 = 5
y2 = 7
Determine the slope.
Formula for the slope of the line:
m = change in y/change in x
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
Solution:
Substitute the given values of x1, x2, y1, and y2 to the formula for the slope of the line.
m = 7 - 5/ 9 -4
m = 2/5
Final answer:
Slope = 2/5
