Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line given two points, you can use [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] are points on the line.

Or you could just line up the points vertically and subtract them vertically, then put 2nd difference over first.

Like so:

 (  2   ,     1   )

-(    1  ,     2   )

--------------------

    1          -1

So the slope is -1/1 or just -1.
