Answer:

The answer is

$\huge (5)/(2) \\$

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

$m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\$

From the question the points are

(-9, 2) and (1, 27)

We have

$m = (27 - 2)/(1 - - 9) = (25)/(1 + 9) = (25)/(10) = (5)/(2) \\$

We have the final answer as

$(5)/(2) \\$

Hope this helps you
