Answer:


\boxed{\sf{-3}}

Explanation:

You can solve this problem by using the slope formula to find the slope of the line.

Slope formula:


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

y2=(-2)

y1=10

x2=(-5)

x1=(-9)

Rewrite the problem down and then solve it.


\sf{((-2)-10)/((-5)-(-9)) }=(-2-10)/(-5+9)=(-12)/(4)

Divide by 4 as well.


\sf{(-12/4)/(4/4)=(-3)/(1)=\boxed{\sf{-3}}}

Therefore, the slope is -3.

I hope this helps! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
