Answer:

A) $\frac{5}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the two-points formula for the slope of a line.

We know that the points (2,-2) and (9,3) are on the line. If (a,b),(c,d) are points on a line then the slope m is defined by the equation $m=\frac{d-b}{c-a}$ . In this case, a=2,b=-2,c=9 and d=3 then the slope is $m=\frac{3-(-2)}{9-2}=\frac{5}{7}$ .
