$\bf \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({{ 90}}\quad ,&{{ 93}})\quad % (c,d) &({{ -4}}\quad ,&{{ 49}}) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{49-93}{-4-90}\implies \cfrac{-44}{-94} \\\\\\ \cfrac{22}{47}$
