Answer:
Option A is the right answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is given by : [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
Putting the values in the formula :
Option A:
[tex]\frac{-8-17}{2-(-3)}=\frac{-25}{5}[/tex] = -5 (negative)
Option B :
[tex]\frac{17-13}{3-(-3)} =\frac{4}{6}[/tex] (positive)
Option C:
[tex]\frac{-10-26}{-2-4}=\frac{-36}{-6}=\frac{36}{6}[/tex] = 6 (positive)
Option D:
[tex]\frac{-4-14}{-2-4} =\frac{-18}{-6} =\frac{18}{6}[/tex] = 3 (positive)
Option A is the right answer.
