Answer:

Your answer would be Slope m = -3

Explanation:

Step 1: Graph the points on a coordinate plane( refer to image!)

Whenever your trying to find a slope of 2 order pairs, remember this

m = rise/run. ( Slope = rise over run.) = Δy/Δx

Now we solve:

M = rise/run = Δy/Δx

M = y2 - y1/x2-x1

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

So we get M = 9/-3 and 9 divided by -3 is -3

So, the slope of (-2,-4) and (-5,5) is -3.
