Answer:


m = -(23)/(42)

Explanation:

here is the equation for slope (m):


m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

where:

y₂ = y-coordinate of 2nd point = -10

y₁ = y-coordinate of 1st point = 36

x₂ = x-coordinate of 2nd point = 93

x₁ = x-coordinate of 1st point = 9

plug values into equation:


m =(-10-36)/(93-9) \\\\m = (-46)/(84) \\

reduce the fraction:


m = -(23)/(42)
