$m = - \frac{4}{7}$ $m=-4/7$

Explanation:

Slope formula has variable $m$ $m$
$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$ given two points ( $x_{1}, y_{1}$ $x_1,y_1$ ); ( $x_{2}, y_{2}$ $x_2,y_2$ )

Given ( $2, 5$ $2,5$ ); ( $9, 1$ $9,1$ )...
$m = \frac{1 - 5}{9 - 2}$ $m=(1-5)/(9-2)$
$= \frac{- 4}{7} = - \frac{4}{7}$ $=(-4)/7=-4/7$
