Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle \boxed{-\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

     ↓

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle Y_2=5\\\displaystyle Y_1=3\\\displaystyle X_2=(-2)\\\displaystyle X_1=2\\[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{5-3}{(-2)-2}=\frac{2}{-4}=\frac{2\div2}{-4\div2}=\frac{1}{-2}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore the slope is -1/2.

-1/2 is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!
