#"slope "=5/3#

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#
