If this was a question from Edge2020, this should be the right answer :) Hope this helps!

Answer 2

`\bf G(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad H(\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-3}-\stackrel{y1}{6}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{5}-\underset{x_1}{(-2)}}}\implies \cfrac{-9}{5+2}\implies -\cfrac{9}{7}`
