Answer:

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of two points on the line. In this case, we can use points A(4, 5) and B(9, 7):

slope = (7 - 5) / (9 - 4) = 2 / 5

So, the slope of line AB is 2/5.
