Hey!

------------------------------------------------

Slope Formula:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

------------------------------------------------

Solution:

$m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) \\m = (9 - 7)/(-1 - 5)\\m = (2)/(-6) \\m = (1)/(-3)$

------------------------------------------------

Answer:

$\large\boxed{-(1)/(3) }$

------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
