Answer: 3/2


Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope we plug in the given numbers into the equation y2-y1/x2-x1 which means when plug in our equation looks like this: 5-(-4)/2-(-4)
5-(-4) is 9
2-(-4) is 6
We now have 9/6 which we can reduce by 3 or you can also figure this out by dividing 9 by 6.
This leaves us with our slope which is 3/2
