Answer: 4/7
This is a fraction

---------------------------------------------------

The two points are (x1,y1) = (2,3) and (x2,y2) = (9,7)

Which breaks down to these four facts
x1=2
y1=3
x2=9
y2=7

Plug those values into the slope formula below and simplify
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (7 - 3)/(9 - 2)
m = 4/7

The slope is 4/7

Side Note: slope = rise/run = 4/7 so rise = 4 and run = 7. Meaning that each time we go up 4, we also go to the right 7
