slope: $- 5$ $-5$

Explanation:

Slope formula: given two points $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ $(x_2,y_2)$ the formula for slope $m$ $m$ is as follows...
$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

In this problem, these are your two points --
$(x_{1}, y_{1}) \Rightarrow (7, 6)$ $(x_1,y_1)\rArr(7,6)$
$(x_{2}, y_{2}) \Rightarrow (9, - 4)$ $(x_2,y_2)\rArr(9,-4)$

Now, applying the formula:
$m = \frac{- 4 - 6}{9 - 7} = \frac{- 10}{2} = - \frac{5}{1}$ $m=(-4-6)/(9-7)=(-10)/2=-5/1$ or $- 5$ $-5$

Slope=-5

Explanation:

Slope $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$
$:.$ Given points are (7),6 and (9,-4)
$:.m=(-4-6)/(9-7)$
slope=-5
