Answer:

-38

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is rise over run.  You need to find out how far one point is from the other.  To do this, use the equation for slope.

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}- x_{1} }[/tex]

Plug in the points given into the equation and solve for slope (m).

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}- x_{1} }\\m=\frac{90-52 }{-24-(-23) }\\m=\frac{90-52 }{-24+23 }\\m=\frac{38}{-1} \\m=-38[/tex]

The slope of the line is -38.
