Question

slope = \frac{\text{vertical distance}}{\text{horizontal distance}} = \frac{\text{change in } y\text{-values}}{\text{change in } x\text{-values}} = \frac{3 - 9}{2 - 0} = \frac{\square}{\square}

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate numerator

$3 - 9 = -6$

Step2: Calculate denominator

$2 - 0 = 2$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{-6}{2} = -3$

Answer:

$\frac{-6}{2}$ (simplified to $-3$)
