The two points given on the line are
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)\Rightarrow(-2,9) \\ (x_2,y_2)\Rightarrow(6,1) \end{gathered}[/tex]
The slope of line that passes through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is gotten using the formula below
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}} \\ m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \end{gathered}[/tex]
By substituting the values, we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{1-9}{6-(-2)} \\ m=-\frac{8}{6+2} \\ m=-\frac{8}{8} \\ m=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore,
The slope of the line = -1
