Answer:

[tex] - \frac{5}{3} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\boxed{slope = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }[/tex]

*(x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the second coordinate.

Using the formula above,

slope of line

[tex] = \frac{9 - ( - 6)}{ - 8 - 1} \\ = \frac{9 + 6}{ - 9} \\ = \frac{15}{ - 9} \\ = - \frac{5}{3} [/tex]
