Question 249750: What would be the slope of a line containing these pair of points (7,2) and (9,-7) any help is appreciated

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To find the slope of two points, use this equation:
m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29

x1,y1 = (7,2)
x2,y2 = (9,-7)

Just replace the values in the equation and solve for m (which is your slope).
I'll let you take it from here! :)
