Explanation:
To find the slope use the
#color(blue)"gradient formula"#
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1))color(white)(2/2)|)))#
where m represents the slope and# (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)" are 2 coordinate points"#
#"the 2 points here are " (5,4)" and " (8,9)#
#"let " (x_1,y_1)=(5,4)" and " (x_2y_2)=(8,9)#
#rArrm=(9-4)/(8-5)=5/3#
