        Slope of line AB which contains points A(4, 5) and B(9, 7) is 2/5.

        Solution

        Slope represented by m of a line given two points on the line (x1, y1), (x2, y2) is as following

        = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

        Given two points are A(4, 5) and B(9, 7)

        So, we have x1 = 4, x2 = 9, y1 = 5, y2 = 7

        Substituting in the above formula, we get

        Slope(m) = (7-5)/(9-4) => 2/5

        So, the slope of the line is 2/5
