Answer:

The answer is


(5)/(9) \\

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula


m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(1, 4) and (10, 9)

The slope is


m = (9 - 4)/(10 - 1) = (5)/(9) \\

We have the final answer as


(5)/(9) \\

Hope this helps you
