x1 y1 x2 y2
9 8 -2 1

slope m =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(1-8)/( -2-9)
(-7/-11 )
m=0.64

Plug value of the slope and point (2, -4) in
Y =mx+b
-4.00=1.27+b
b=-4-1.27
b=-5.27
So the equation will be
Y =0.64 x-5.27

        The solution in the post by @mananth is INCORRECT.

        Below is my solution in correct form.


The slope is

    m =  =  =  = .


ANSWER.  The slope is .

Solved completely and correctly.

In this kind of problems, @mananth runs his computer code, which produces incorrect solutions every time,
from problem to problem. But for this person, @mananth, it does not matter - he even does not look what
his code produces, what it prints and what he submits to this forum.

I just tired to disprove his posts.
