Answer:

-1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula:

rise/run OR y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

Plug in the x and y of the points:

₂ will be (9,6)

₁ will be (1,7)

6-7 = y₂-y₁ = -1

9 - 1 = x₂-x₁ = 8

-1/8

Slope is -1/8

Answer: -1/8

When solving slope using points, the equation becomes: y2-y1/x2-x1

This relates to the x and y values in the points

X1- 9
Y1- 6

X2-1
Y2-7

Knowing this, let’s substitute this into the equation

y2-y1/x2-x1

7-6/1-9

1/-8

-1/8

This is your slope! Hope this helps comment below for more questions :)
