Answer:

A. -3/2

Explanation:

» Concepts

The slope of a line describes the steepness, or the change in y over the change in x of a line. The formula to find the slope, given two points, is
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1), where we put in the x- and y-coordinates of the two points.

» Application

In this case, we're given two points: (-2, 5) and (4, -4). We have to find the slope of the line containing them, so we must use our aforementioned formula.

» Solution


  • ((-4)-(5))/((4)-(-2))

  • (-9)/(4+2)

  • -(9)/(6)

  • -3/2

Therefore, the answer is A. -3/2.
