Answer:
the slope m= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
step1: identify the slope formula.
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
(-2,5) x1=-2 y1=5
(-1,1) x2=-1 y2=1
step2: sub the values in the formula.
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1-5}{-1-(-2)}[/tex]
step3: simplify to get the answer.
[tex]=\frac{-4}{1}[/tex]
SO,
m= -4
