Answer:

[tex] - \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\boxed{slope = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}}[/tex]

☆ (x₁, y₁) is the 1st coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the 2nd coordinate

Slope of the line

[tex]=\frac{ - 2 - ( - 17)}{4 - 24} \\ = \frac{ - 2 + 17}{ - 20} \\ = \frac{15}{ - 20} \\ = - \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
