Question

Please help me on this question. ( = ___ ) is at the bottom

Answer 1

Given

`\begin{gathered} \text{First point (1,9)} \\ \text{second point (4,3)} \end{gathered}`

Formula

`\begin{gathered} \text{Slope (M)=}(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \end{gathered}`

Given

`\begin{gathered} x_1=1 \\ x_2=\text{ 4} \\ y_1=9 \\ y_2=3 \end{gathered}`
`\text{Slope (M)=}(3-9)/(4-1)`
`\text{Slope (M)=}(3-9)/(4-1)=-(6)/(3)=-(2)/(1)`

The final answer

`-2`
