Since the slope is (change in y)/(change in x), and a negative number over a positive number is negative (and vice versa), we want to figure that out. Therefore, we would want 2 to be bigger than the x value and 8 smaller than the y value, or the other way around. (0,9) fits the description, as well as (5, 6)
