The slope of the line containing the points (17,92) and (21,44) is -12
The slope of a line passing through the points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given as:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
For the line passing through the points (17,92) and (21,44)
[tex]x_1=17, y_1=92, x_2=21, y_2=44[/tex]
Substitute these values into the slope formula
[tex]m=\frac{44-92}{21-17} \\\\m=\frac{-48}{4} \\\\m=-12[/tex]
