Question

Line AB contains points A(4, 5) and B(9, 7). What is the slope of ? –  –

Answer 1

The slope of the line is 2/5.

Rise over run:

Typically the slope of a line is calculated by "rise over run". This means calculating the change in the y values divided by the change in the x values.

To find the slope of the line that passes through points A(4, 5) and B(9, 7), we can use the formula for calculating the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2):

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

In this case, point A is (x1, y1) = (4, 5), and point B is (x2, y2) = (9, 7). Plugging these values into the formula:

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

`m=(2)/(5)`

So, the slope for the line AB that passes through points A and B is 2/5.
