Answer:

The slope of the line is
-(2)/(3)

Explanation:

Slope:

When we have two points on a line, the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.

Two points on a line are M(4,5) and N(-2,9).

Change in y: 9 - 5 = 4

Change in x: -2 - 4 = -6

The slope is:


m = (4)/(-6) = -(2)/(3)

The slope of the line is
-(2)/(3)
