You can put this solution on YOUR website! slope m = y1-y2 over x1-x2
in words divide the difference in y by the difference in x
This is sometimes called rise over run where y is the rise and x is the run.
the two y's are 2 and -7
the two x's are 7 and 9
Don't forget change of signs when subtracting
