Find the slope of the line through the pair of points.

(9,5) and (6,8)

The formula for finding the slope of a line passing through two points is:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Using the given points (9,5) and (6,8):

m = (8 - 5) / (6 - 9)
m = 3 / (-3)
m = -1

Therefore, the slope of the line through the points (9,5) and (6,8) is -1.
