The slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, 3) and (4, -12) is -3/2.
To find the slope, we use the formula:
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
We can choose either point as our starting point. Let's choose (-2, 3).
change in y = -12 - 3 = -15
change in x = 4 - (-2) = 6
slope = (-15)/(6) = -5/2
So the slope of the line is -5/2.
