Verified Answer :

The slope of a line defined as the unit change of its ordinate divided by the change of its abscissa. Mathematically,
 
                                          m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
 
Substituting the values to the equation,
 
                                           m = (-2 - 3) / (5 - 1) = -5/4

Therefore, the slope of the line is -5/4. The answer is C.

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: \(\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}\)

\(\frac{(-2)-3=-5}{5-1=4}=\frac{-5}{4}=-\frac{5}{4}\)

Slope is -5/4

Answer is -5/4

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
