The slope of the given line is -2
Equation of a line in slope intercept form
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is expressed a y = mx + b
where:
m is the slope
Given the equation
y - 9 = -2(x - 8)
Rewrite in slope intercept form
y - 9 = -2x + 16
y = -2x + 25
Since mx = -2x
m = -2
Hence the slope of the given line is -2
