Answer:

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line passing through two points, you need to calculate the rise (change in y) divided by the run (change in x). The slope can be represented as:m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.Plugging in the values:m = (5 - 2) / (-6 - 15) = 3 / -21 = -3/7.

So the slope of the line that passes through the points (15,2), (-6,5) is -3/7.
