Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through the two points which are A(1,1) and B(5,-2) . We know that the slope of the line passing through two points is ,

[tex]\implies Slope =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\implies Slope =\dfrac{ -2-1}{5-1}\\\\\implies Slope =\dfrac{-3}{4} \\\\\implies \underline{\underline{ Slope (m) =\dfrac{-3}{4}}}[/tex]

Hence the slope of the line is -3/4 .
