we know that

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

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

in this problem we have

$A(-3,5)\ B(5,-3)$

substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-3-5}{5+3}$

$m=\frac{-8}{8}$

$m=-1$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

$slope=-1$

Answer:

18.11 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Get the miles traveled from the trip odometer, or subtract the original odometer reading from the new one.

Divide the miles traveled by the amount of gallons it took to refill the tank. The result will be your car’s average miles per gallon yield for that driving period.

44,895-44,587 = 308 miles

308/17 = 18.11
