In this case, starting from the point (4, 3) and moving to the point (9, 2), we see that the change in y is -1 (3-2) and the change in x is 5 (9-4). Therefore, the slope is -1/5. Option A is incorrect because the slope cannot result in a negative number if the line is moving from left to right. Option C is incorrect because the slope of a line cannot be negative if the line is moving upwards from left to right.
