$m = - (\frac{8}{3})$ $color(green)(m) = color(red)(-(8/3)$

$(x_{1}, y_{1}) = (- 2, 1), (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (- 5, 9)$ $(x_1,y_1) =( -2,1), (x_2, y_2) = (-5,9)$

$m = \frac{9 - 1}{- 5 + 2} = - (\frac{8}{3})$ $color(green)(m) = (9-1) / (-5 + 2) = color(red)(-(8/3)$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (-2,1), (-5, 9)(−2,1),(−5,9) (-2,1), (-5, 9)?
