Answer:
(6)/(7)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the numerator we have
y_2 - y_1 = 10-4 = 6 to represent the change in y, aka the rise. This is the vertical change. It's how much we go up.

The denominator has
x_2 - x_1 = 9-2 = 7 to represent the run. It is the horizontal change, or how much we go to the right.

We go up 6 and to the right 7 to have a slope of
m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\tex{run}} = (6)/(7)

Here's how you can show the steps


m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\m = (10-4)/(9-2)\\\\m = (6)/(7)\\\\

Note: To write
(6)/(7) on the keyboard, you can type 6/7
