Answer:

The slope is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line when we have 2 points, we use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (3-9)/(4-1)

     = -6/3

   -2

The slope of the line is -2

To find the slope of a line using two points, there are many formulas, however the easiest one to use is (rise/run)

The rise is the difference in the Y value and the run is the difference in the X value

(9-3)/(1-4) = (6/-3) = -6/3, which can be simplified to -2
