Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{slope=-2/5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is: given the points (19,−2) and (−11,10) find the slope of the line that joins them.

The slope of a line is the change in the y-coordinate over the change of the x-coordinate:

Thus:

$slope=[10-(-2)]/[-11-19]\\\\slope=12/(-30)\\\\slope=-12/30$

Simplify, dividing both numerator and denominator by 6:

$slope=-2/5\leftarrow answer$
