Answer:

$\frac{2}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the slope: $\frac{y_{2}-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Notice it doesn't matter for which point being y2/x2 or y1/x1.

Just to make our life easier, I choose (5,3) as our second point and (-4,1) as our first point.

$\frac{3-1}{5-(-4)}$

= $\frac{2}{9}$
