Answer:

Slope=1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the line passing through points (5,1) and (10,9). We use the slope formula to find its slope.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}$

Substituting the given values, we have:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=(9-1)/(10-5) \\ =(8)/(5) \\ =1.6 \end{gathered}$

The slope of the line passing through the given points is 1.6
