Answer:

-11/6

Explanation:

Slope can be found with this equation:

(y₁ - y₂) / (x₁ - x₂)

What this essentially tells us to do is to put one set of the x and y coordinates into x₁ and y₁, respectfully. Then, put the other set of x and y points as x₂ and y₂.

With this scenerio, we can substitute the given points into the formula.

(6 - (-5)) / (-4 - 2) =

(6 + 5 ) / (-6) =

11 / (-6) =

-11/6

The slope is - 11/6
