We are asked to find the slope of
[tex]\star~\mathrm{(-2,5)}[/tex]
[tex]\star~\mathrm{(-1,3)}[/tex]
This can be done with the help of the slope formula:
[tex]\star~\mathrm{\cfrac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}}[/tex]
Where
y2 and y1 are y-coordinates
x2 and x1 are x-coordinates
Substitute the values:
[tex]\mathrm{\cfrac{3-5}{-1-(-2)}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{\cfrac{-2}{-1+2}}[/tex]
Upon simplifying,
[tex]\mathrm{\cfrac{-2}{1}}[/tex]
Finally,
[tex]\bigstar~\mathrm{\underline{Slope=-2}}[/tex]
Hope it helps you out! :D

Answer: Slope = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = change in y/change in x
Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1
Substitue:
Slope = 3-5/-1-(-2)
Solve:
Slope = -2/1
Simplify:
Slope = -2
