Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is: m = 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (4,5)

B (9,7)

Formula

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$m = \frac{7 - 5}{9 - 4}$

$m = \frac{2}{5}$

Answer 2

Answer: $\dfrac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope of a line passing through points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$

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

Then, the slope of Line A will be :-

$m=\dfrac{7-5}{9-4}=\dfrac{2}{5}$

Hence, the slope of line AB = $\dfrac{2}{5}$
