−45 ​
45 ​ ​
54

Answer 1

Option C:
`(4)/(5)` is the slope of the line

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through the points
`(3,-1)` and
`(-2,-5)`

We need to find the slope of the line.

The slope can be determined using the formula,

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Where the coordinates
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` are
`(3,-1)` and
`(-2,-5)`

Let us substitute the points in the formula

Thus, we have,

`m=(-5-(-1))/(-2-3)`

Simplifying, we get,

`m=(-5+1)/(-2-3)`

Adding the numerator and denominator, we have,

`m=(-4)/(-5)`

Cancelling the negative terms, we get,

`m=(4)/(5)`

Thus, the slope of the line is
`m=(4)/(5)`

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
