Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer you must use the formula for slope, substitute the values, and solve.

[tex]P = (0,2) = (x1,y1)[/tex]

[tex]P=(-10,-16)=(x2,y2)[/tex]

[tex]Slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]Slope = \frac{-16-2}{-10-0}[/tex]

Solve:

[tex]-16-2=-16+-2=-18[/tex]

[tex]-10+0=-10[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{-18}{-10}[/tex]

Reduce:

[tex]18\div2=9[/tex]

[tex]10\div2=5[/tex]

Remember that a negative divided by a positive equals a negative

[tex]=-\frac{9}{5}[/tex]

Hope this helps
