Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope between any two points is given by the slope formula:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are our two points.

So, let’s let (4, 5) be (x₁, y₁) and let (8, 10) be (x₂, y₂). Substitute appropriately:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{10-5}{8-4}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope between the two points is 5/4 or 1.25.
