Answer:

B. 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the two points (5,8) and (9,15) we have to use the slope formula

[tex]slope=\frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]             [tex]slope=\frac{15-8}{9 -5}[/tex]      

[tex]slope=\frac{7}{4}[/tex]  can also be written as a decimal  [tex]slope=1.75[/tex]
