Answer:

5/4

Explanation:

The slope can be found using the slope formula:

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

m = (9 -4)/(7 -3) = 5/4

The slope of the line through those points is 5/4.

_____

The attached graph shows the equation of the line in point-slope form, so you can see that the computed slope makes the line go through both points.
