Answer:

m=-3 (the answer should be have a negative sign.)

Explanation:

Slope is a surface with one end higher than the other and without no steps. It proceed at an angle.

First, you have to use the slope formula.

Slope formula:


\sf{(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)}

Y₂= (-4)

Y₁=5

X₂=1

X₁=(-2)

Solve.


M=(-4-5)/(1-(-2))

(-4)-5=(-9)

1-(-2)=1+2=3

(-9)/3=(-3)

Therefore, the slope is -3, which is our answer.
