Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = ([tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex], 2)
m = [tex]\frac{2-5}{\frac{3}{2}-(-2) }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{-3}{\frac{3}{2}+2 }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{-3}{\frac{7}{2} }[/tex]
= - 3 × [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex]
= - [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]
