Answer:

D, see description below.

There is a possible typo in the problem since these points have slope 25/23.

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line, calculate the distance between points with a ratio of vertical to horizontal distance. This is done using the formula:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Here the points are (-4,-14) and (19,11). Substitute and simplify.


m=(11--14)/(19--4)=(11+14)/(19+4)=(25)/(23)

I think there is a typo in your points (-4,-14) and (19,11) because the answer doesn't align to the answer choices. But based on them, I would answer D or 24/23 since it's the closest value.
