Answer:

The answer is option D

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula


m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\

From the question we have


m = ( - 13 - - 20)/( - 8 - 7) = ( - 13 + 20)/( - 15) = - (7)/(15) \\

We have the final answer as


- (7)/(15) \\

Hope this helps you
