Answer:

m = 4

Explanation:

Going from point (-6, 9) to point (-7, 5), we see x decreasing by 1 and y decreasing by 4. Thus, the slope is

m = rise/run = -4 / (-1) = 4

Answer:

Slope = 4

Explanation:

slope = rise/run

rise = y2 - y1

run = x2 - x1

rise/run = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

5 - 9/-7 - -6

= -4/-1

=4

Slope = 4
