Step-by-step explanation:

It is asking to find the slope of the secant line going through points (2,f(2)) and (9,f(9)).

We must find f(2) by looking at the curve at x=2. We should see that y=2 there so f(2)=2.

We must find f(9) by looking at the curve at x=9. We should see that y=-1 there so f(9)=-1.

The slope of a line is calculated by finding the ratio of the change of y to the change of x.

(-1-2)/(9-2)

(-3)/(7)
