What methods have worked for you to get your child to stop talking back?

I am at my wits end with my nine year-old who seems to think every word I utter to him from a direct order, to a question, to a compliment, is an invitation to argue. He cannot be told to do anything without asking why, telling me why he shouldn’t have to, and eventually yelling that he won’t do it. This is becoming a daily occurrence and I’m wondering if anyone has any tools (aside from hitting him, which I won’t do) that have worked to extinguish this behavior.
