Answer:


x_1 = 5, x_2 =11, y_1 =9, y_2 = -3

The slope can be founded with this formula:


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

And replacing we got:


m =(-3 -9)/(11-5)= -2

And the best answer for this case would be :


m=-2

Explanation:

For this case we have the following two points given:


x_1 = 5, x_2 =11, y_1 =9, y_2 = -3

The slope can be founded with this formula:


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

And replacing we got:


m =(-3 -9)/(11-5)= -2

And the best answer for this case would be :


m=-2
