Respuesta :

actually the rise is neg 1 and the run is pos 2 so -1/2 would be the answer

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

[tex]A(-2,2)\ B(4,-1)[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]m=\frac{-1-2}{4+2}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-3}{6}[/tex]

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

therefore

the answer is the option B

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