We are going to use the slope formula to solve this problem.

First of all,

Given,


\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(1,4) \\ \text{and} \\ (x_2,y_2)=(2,9) \end{gathered}

The slope formula is:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Now we can substitute the points and find the slope,


\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=\frac{9-4_{}}{2-1} \\ m=(5)/(1) \\ m=5 \end{gathered}

The slope is 5.
