Answer:


\displaystyle \boxed{-(1)/(2)}

Explanation:

Slope formula:


\displaystyle (Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)


\displaystyle Y_2=5\\\displaystyle Y_1=3\\\displaystyle X_2=(-2)\\\displaystyle X_1=2\\


\displaystyle (5-3)/((-2)-2)=(2)/(-4)=(2/2)/(-4/2)=(1)/(-2)=-(1)/(2)

Therefore the slope is -1/2.

-1/2 is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!
