Answer:

slope = $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 6 )

m = $\frac{6-3}{9-5}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

Slope = "rise over run" the difference in y values divided by the difference in x values
= 6/-3 = -2 = m. It's negative because as x increases, y decreases

plug that into the point slope formula, with either point. generally use the most simple point
y-h= m(x-k) where m= -2 and (k,h) = (2,-2)

y+2 = -2(x-2)

simply if you want

Y = -2x +4 -2 = -2x +2

or

2x +y = 2
