Question

Line AB contains points A(4, 5) and B(9, 7). What is the slope of ? –negative StartFraction 5 Over 2 EndFraction –negative StartFraction 2 Over 5 EndFraction StartFraction 2 Over 5 EndFraction StartFraction 5 Over 2 EndFraction

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Data

A (4,5)

B (9,7)

Formula

`m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

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

`m = (2)/(5)`

Answer 2

Answer:
`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

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

`m=(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=(7-5)/(9-4)=(2)/(5)`

Hence, the slope of line AB =
`(2)/(5)`
