Hello!

To find the slope of line, we will need to use the slope formula.

The slope formula is:
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1)) .

Before the use the formula, we should assign the ordered pairs to
(x_(1), y_(1)) and
(x_(2), y_(2)) .

(3, -6) can be assigned to
(x_(1), y_(1)) and (9, 2) is assigned to
(x_(2), y_(2)) . With that, we can substitute those values into the formula.

(2-(-6))/(9-3)= (8)/(6) = (4)/(3)

Therefore, the slope of the line is 4/3.
