13
5
х
-2
0
3
5
8
.-7
-15
-27
O A. -3
B. 4
C. -5
D. -8

Answer 1

-4

Explanation:

To find the slope we need to use the expression

`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

For that, we need 2 coordinates

Let's use (0, 5) and (3, -7)

When you plug that in you get 5+7/0-3

When you answer it you should get -4

Answer 2

-4

Explanation:

The slope is given by

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

= ( 13-5)/(-2 -0)

= 8/-2

= -4
