Answer:

Slope = -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The layout for this is [tex]\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}[/tex]

With this format, we know that 8 = [tex]y^2[/tex] and 1 = [tex]y^1[/tex]

Which means that -9 = [tex]x^2[/tex] and -7 = [tex]x^1[/tex]

So let's set it up,

[tex]\frac{8-1}{-9-(-7)}[/tex]

Solve,

[tex]\frac{7}{-2}[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is [tex]-7/2[/tex] .

I hope this helps!
