Answer:

In decimal 0.428571428

Explanation:

The slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) y2 = 16, y1 = 19x2=2 and x1=9

The slope = (16 - 19)/(2 -9)

The slope = (-3)/(-7)

The slope = 0.428571428

So in decimal form the coordinates are going to be written as 0.428571428

Slope is the steepness of a line, it is the difference between the y coordinates divided by the difference in x coordinates.
