Answer:

Slope = 5/3

Explanation:

Given two points on a line, we can find the line's slope using the slope formula, which is given by:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where

  • m is the slope,
  • (x1, y1) is one point on the line,
  • and (x2, y2) is another point.

Thus, we can find the slope (m) of the line by substituting (7, 4) for (x1, y1) and (10, 9) for (x2, y2) in the slope formula:

m = (9 - 4) / (10 - 7)

m = 5/3

Therefore, the slope of the line containing the two points (7, 4) and (10, 9) is 5/3.
