Answer:

The slope of the line segment is [tex]m=-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

we have the points

(2,-5)  and (-1, -1)

substitute in the formula

[tex]m=\frac{-1+5}{-1-2}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{4}{-3}[/tex]

[tex]m=-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
