Slope: $\frac{2}{9}$ $2/9$

The slope is the ratio of the difference in the $y$ $y$ coordinate values to the difference in $x$ $x$ coordinate values.

$m=(Delta y)/(Delta x) = ((-8)-(-6))/((-7)-(2))= (-2)/(-9) = 2/9$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (2, -6), (-7, -8)(2,−6),(−7,−8) (2, -6), (-7, -8)?
