Answer:

-2

Solution,

Let the points be A and B

A(-2,5)-> (X1,y1)

B(2,-3)-> (x2,y2)

Now,

Slope=y2-y1/x2-x1

=-3-5/2-(-2)

=-8/2+2

= -8/4

= -2

Hope it helps

Good luck on your assignment

Answer:

-2

Explanation:

The slope of a line is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-3 -5)/(2- -2)

= -8/(2+2)

-8/4

-2
