hello

to solve this question, let's use equation of a slope with the given lines

slope (m) =


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

let's identify our points


\begin{gathered} y_2=5 \\ y_1=\sqrt[]{18} \\ x_2=\sqrt[]{18} \\ x_1=5 \end{gathered}

put the values into the equation


\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=\frac{5-\sqrt[]{18}}{\sqrt[]{18}-5} \\ m=-1 \end{gathered}

from the calculation above, the value of m = -1 which corresponds to option d
