C) 8/3

y2-y1/x2-x1

(6/2 , 2/3) (2 1/2 , -2/3)

x1= 6/2 (3)

y1= 2/3 (0.66)

x2= 2 1/2 (2.5)

y2= -2/3 (-0.66)

First, plug in the numbers into the slope equation. (Also, to make it easier, I have converted the fractions in decimals)

-0.66 - 0.66 / 2.5 - 3

Simplify

-0.66 - 0.66 / 2.5 - 3

-1.33 / -0.5

Now, since both sides are negative, the result is a positive.

-1.33 / -0.5 ---> 1.33/0.5

Divide the numbers.

1.33/0.5 --> 2.66

Finally, convert the decimal to a fraction.

2.66 --> 8/3

And there you have it!

Your answer is C) 8/3.

Hope this helps! :)
