Hello!

Answer:

D. -1/2

*The answer must have a fraction.*

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: [tex]\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5-8=-3}{9-3=6}=\frac{-3}{6}=\frac{-3/3}{6/3}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So, the slope is -1/2

Answer is -1/2

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

-Charlie

Have a great day!
