Answer 1

The slope of the line AB is
`(2)/(5)`.

Explanation:

Given : Line AB contains points A(4, 5) and B(9, 7).

To find : What is the slope of line AB ?

Solution :

The formula to find slope between two points is

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

In the given line,

`A=(x_1,y_1)=(4, 5) ,B=(x_2,y_2)=(9,7)`

The slope of the line AB,

`m=(7-5)/(9-4)`

`m=(2)/(5)`

The slope of the line AB is
`(2)/(5)`.
