Given an arithmetic sequence $\{a\_n\}$ with the sum of its first $n$ terms denoted as $S\_n$. It is known that $a\_3 = 4$ and $S\_3 = 9$.

(1) Find the general formula for the $n$th term of the sequence.

(2) Let $b\_n = \frac{1}{a\_n \cdot a\_{n+1}}$, find the sum of the first 10 terms of the sequence $\{b\_n\}$.
