Hi there! :)Step-by-step explanation:[tex]Slope=\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}[/tex][tex]\frac{4-(-2)}{(-5)-4}=\frac{6}{-9}=\frac{6/3}{-9/3}=\frac{2}{-3}=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]Therefore, the slope is -2/3.[tex]\boxed{-\frac{2}{3} }[/tex], is the final answer.Hope this helps!Thanks!Have a nice day! :)-Charlie
