Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the ratio of change in y direction to change in x direction that is [tex]slope=\frac {\triangle y}{\triangle x}[/tex]

Using the co-ordinate system, change in x is 9-4=5 points

change in y=7-5=2 points

[tex]Slope=\frac {2}{5}[/tex]

Note that since slope is a ratio, it doesn't have units

Therefore, the slope is [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] or 0.4 when expressed as a decimal or 40% when expressed as a percentage
