Answer:

B

Explanation:

We are given that a line passes through (2, -5) and (5, -3).

We want to find the slope of the line.

The slope (m) can be found using the formula
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) where
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) are points.

We can label the values of the points beforehand:

$x_1=2\\y_1=-5\\x_2=5\\y_2=-3$

Substitute the values into the formula.

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

m=(-3--5)/(5-2)

m=(-3+5)/(5-2)

m=(2)/(3)

The slope of the line is
(2)/(3) . Our answer is B.
