Answer:

No of these answers has a slope of  [tex]\frac{-3}{5}[/tex] . My guess is B becasue its close to [tex]\frac{-3}{5}[/tex] unless the 5 is supposed to be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the slope formula [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }[/tex]

([tex]x_{1}[/tex],[tex]y_{1}[/tex]), ([tex]x_{2}[/tex],[tex]y_{2}[/tex])

(4, 0), (-2, 10)   [tex]\frac{10 - 0 }{-2 - 4 }= \frac{10}{6}[/tex] you have to simplfy, the answer will be [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

(10, -2), (0, 4)  [tex]\frac{4 - -2 }{0- 10 }= \frac{6}{-10}[/tex] you have to simplfy, the answer will be [tex]\frac{3}{-5}[/tex]

 (4, 2), (10, 4)  [tex]\frac{4 - 2 }{10 - 4 }= \frac{2}{6}[/tex] you have to simplfy, the answer will be [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

 (-4, -10),(0, -2) [tex]\frac{{-2- -10} }{0 - -4 }= \frac{8}{4}[/tex] you have to simplfy, the answer will be [tex]\frac{2}{1} =2[/tex]
