hello!

Use the slope formula:-


\displaystyle(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plug in the values:-


\displaystyle(9-2)/(5-10)

Simplify:-


\displaystyle(7)/(-5)= -(7)/(5)


.~~~~~~~\uparrow\sf{Slope}

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I'll comment and/or edit my answer :)
