The final slope would be:
-3/4

Step-by-step explanation

rise over run.

(Rise is the y value)

From -2 to -17 is -15

From 4 to 24 is 20

Therefore the slops is -15/20

Answer: -3/4. Explanation: To find this, use the slope formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).Plug in the two points, (-2+17)/(4-24). Simplify and solve (15)/(-20) = -(3/4)
