Answer:

-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope can be found by

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

   = (3-18)/(4- -2)

   = -15/(4+2)

    =-15/6

    = -5/2

     -2.5

Answer:

C. -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is: [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We are given the points (-2,18) and (4,3).

[tex]m=\frac{3-18}{4-(-2)}= \frac{-15}{6} =-\frac{15}{6}= -\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

The options are given in decimals.

[tex]-5/2=-2.5[/tex]

Option C is the correct answer.
