The slope of a line is the change in y / change in X
Slope = y2-y1/ x2-x1
-5-(-3) / 4-2
-5+3=2
-2=2
slope = -1

change in y over the change in x. meaning -5--3= -2. and 4-2 is 2 so the change in y is -2 and change in x is 2, so -2/2 is -1. thats ur slope -1x or just -x

the formula for slope is y2-y1/x2-x1
-5-(-3)/4-2
-5+3/2
-2/2
=-1 <----- answer

plot those two points on the graph, and measure the slope (change in Y / change in X)
