You know that y decreases by 2 when x increases by 1.
So, (1,7) + (1,-2) = (2,5)
you could also go the other direction the same distance.
So, (1,7) + (1,-2) = (2,5)
you could also go the other direction the same distance.

for a slope of -2
The y value would increase by 2 and the x value would decrease by 1. This gives us (0,9)
