Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the slope of a line is:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

We can substitute the points (-4, 7) and (5, -8) to find the slope:

(-8 - 7) / (5 - (-4))

(-15) / (5 + 4)

(-15) / 9

This can be simplified to

- 5 / 3

which is option C

25x+20y=455
x+y=20

20x+20y=400
-25x-20y=-455
-5x=-55
x=11
11+y=20
y=9
