Answer:

C - 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for slope

m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

Given two points

( 4 , 5) (-1 , 3)

x_1 = 4

y_1 = 5

x_2 = -1

y_2 = 3

Insert the values into the equation

m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

m = ( 3 - 5) / ( -1 - 4)

= -2 / -5

- $ - cancels out

m = 2/5

Slope = m = 2/5
