notice that there are two points marked on the line 

first point     : (-2, 5)
second point : (9, -4)

ganeshie8 · Answer

see them ?

anonymous · Answer

Yes

ganeshie8 · Answer

thats it ! we just need ANY two points to find the slope using slope-formula

anonymous · Answer

y=mx+b?

ganeshie8 · Answer

no, we will use below formula.

slope of a line joining two points $(x1, y1) \ and\  (x2, y2) = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

ganeshie8 · Answer

slope of a line joining two points $(-2, 5) \ and \ (9, -4) = ?$

anonymous · Answer

-4-5/9+2

ganeshie8 · Answer

perfect ! thats ur slope. 

-4-5/9+2 = -9/11

anonymous · Answer

Oh! Thank you! I understand clearly now!

ganeshie8 · Answer

glad to hear :)
Also, the negative sign of slope indicates that the line is falling to the right side. which can be seen in the graph very easily - the line is falling to the right.
