Answer:


\Huge\boxed{-8}

Explanation:

Hello there!

When given two ordered pairs we can use the slope formula to solve for the slope


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

where m = slope

All we have to do is plug in the y and x values into the formula and calculate the slope


m=(1-9)/(7-6) \\1-9=-8\\7-6=1\\(-8)/(1) =-8\\m=-8

So we can conclude that the slope of the line that passes through the points (6,9) and (7,1) is -8
