Use the slope formula:-

$\displaystyle(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)$

Plug in the values:-

$\displaystyle(9-2)/(5-10)$

Simplify:-

$\displaystyle(7)/(-5)= -(7)/(5)$

$.~~~~~~~\uparrow\sf{Slope}$

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I'll comment and/or edit my answer :)
