Answer: 3/2

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 1) and (0, -2), we can use the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

where:

m = slope of the line

(x1, y1) = coordinates of the first point

(x2, y2) = coordinates of the second point

Plugging in the values we have, we get:

m = (-2 - 1) / (0 - 2)

m = -3 / -2

m = 3/2

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 1) and (0, -2) is 3/2.
