To find the slope, use the slope formula and plug in the two points:

(9, -8) = (x₁ , y₁)

(4 , -3) = (x₂ , y₂)

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-3-(-8)}{4-9}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-3+8}{4-9}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{5}{-5}[/tex]

m = -1

Use the slope formula, which is [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex], where [tex](9, -8)[/tex] and [tex](4, -3)[/tex] are the two points.

Substitute in the values. [tex]\frac{-3-(-8)}{4-9}[/tex]

Simplify. [tex]\frac{-3+8}{4-9}[/tex]

Add and subtract. [tex]\frac{5}{-5}[/tex]

Divide. [tex]\large\boxed{-1}[/tex]
