Answer:

D

Explanation:

It looks line you are asking for the slope. The slope is the change in y over the change in x

Ordered pairs are writing in the from (x,y) The first number is the x value and the second number is the y value.


(0 - (-13))/(-8 - (-2)) I am subtracting the y's on the top and the x's on the bottom.


(0 + 13)/(-8 + 2) Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.


(13)/(-6) The fraction is negative, so the negative sign can go on the top or the bottom.
