Answer:
The slope of the line through ( -2 , -5 ) and ( -6 , 7 ) is -3
Solution:
Correct option is
Slope of the line [tex]=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Here [tex]x_1=-2,y_1=-5[/tex] and [tex]x_2=-6,y_2=7[/tex]
∴ [tex]m=\frac{7-(-5)}{(-6)-(-2)}=\frac{12}{-4}=-3[/tex]
Therefore, the slope of the line through ( -2 , -5 ) and ( -6 , 7 ) is -3
