Answer:


-(7)/(8)

Explanation:

I'm assuming you're asking for the slope of the line that passes through the two given points. To find this, use the slope formula:
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1).

Substitute the point coordinates into the formula.


(-2-5)/(6-(-2)) \rightarrow(-7)/(8)

The slope of the line is -7/8.
