E) m = -

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of a line passing through two points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by:

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

Using the given points, we have:

m = (0 - 9) / (2 - 0) = -9/2

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (0,9) and (2,0) is -9/2.

Option C is the correct choice as it has the slope of -9/2.
