Answer:

-6

Explanation:

Equation .......

$\ slope\: = (different \: \: in \: y)/(different \: in \: x)$

So ,.

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \ \: \ \: \: \: \:5 = ((y1 - y2))/((x1 - x2))$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 5 = ((4 - w))/((9 - 7))$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 5 = (4 - w)/(2)$

5 × 2 = 4 - w

10 = 4 - w

W = 4 - 10

W = -6 ..........
