Find the slope of the line that passes through (8, 7) and (5, 9).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the given points (8, 7) and (5, 9), we have:
m = (9 - 7) / (5 - 8)
m = 2 / (-3)
m = -2/3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (8, 7) and (5, 9) is -2/3.
