Step by Step Explanation:
Here, to find the slope of line passing through two points x₁,x₁ and y₁,y₂ is given by:-
[tex]\sf m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]
where,
x₁ = 2
x₂ = 9
y₁ = 5
y₂ = 8
Therefore putting the values , we get
[tex] \sf \: m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \\ \\ : \longrightarrow \: \frac{8 - 5}{9 - 2} \\ \\ : \longrightarrow \: \frac{3}{7} [/tex]
Hence, the slope of line passes through the points (2, 5) and (9, 8) is 3/7.
