In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

point 1 ( 5 , 1) x1 = 5 y1 = 1

point 2 ( 9 , 10) x2 = 9 y2 = 10

slope = ?

Step 02:

slope formula

$m\text{ = }(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)$
$m\text{ = }(10-1)/(9-5)=(9)/(4)$

m = 9 / 4

The answer is:

The slope is 9/4
