Answer:


if \ given \ 2 \ points\ are\ (x_1, y_1) \ and\ (x_2, y_2) \\ then \ slope \ is \ given \ as \ \\m = ((y_2 -y_1))/(x_2 -x_1) \\

Explanation:

I think now you can figure it out. let me know if needed more clarification. It will help you to get started

Answer:

slope = -
(8)/(11)

Explanation:

To calculate the slope m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (20, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 16)

m =
(16-8)/(9-20) =
(8)/(-11) = -
(8)/(11)
