• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (2, 5)

Point (-3, -9)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:                    $m=\frac{-9-5}{-3-2}$
2. Subtract:                              $m=\frac{-14}{-5}$
3. Simplify:                               $m=\frac{14}{5}$
