We have the following definite integral


\int ^9_(0.5)-2dx

First, we solve the integral.


\int ^{}_{}-2dx=-2x+C

secondly, we evaluate it in the limits of the integral.


\begin{gathered} \lbrack-2(9)\rbrack-\lbrack-2(0.5)\rbrack \\ \lbrack-18\rbrack-\lbrack-1\rbrack \\ -18+1 \\ -17 \end{gathered}

In conclusion, the answer is -17
