Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula:
[tex]m = \frac{y2 -y1}{x2 - x1}[/tex]
where m = slope
Given the coordinates
(-4, 4) ---> this means x1 = -4 , y1 = 4
(2, -5) ---> this means x2 = 2 , y2 = -5
Substitute these values into the slope formula:
[tex]m = \frac{y2 -y1}{x2 - x1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{-5 -4}{2 - (-4)} = \frac{-9}{2+4} = \frac{-9}{6} = \frac{-3}{2}[/tex]
