D. 1/2

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula to find the slope  m .

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5)

m = [tex]\frac{-5+3}{3-1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-2}{2}[/tex] = - 1 → B
