The slope is $122/161$ .

$(93, 78)$ and $(-68, 44)$
Slope of a line is defined by $"change in y"/"change in x"$ or $"rise"/"run"$ or the formula $(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$ .

We have the value of two points, so we can plug them into the formula:
$(-44-78)/(-68-93)$

Simplify...
$(-122)/(-161)$

$122/161$

The slope is $122/161$ .

Hope this helps!
