Answer:
D. 21/26
Step-by-step explanation:
The function to calculate the slope is:
[tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}[/tex]
Therefore, you insert the two points in that function, and it'll look like this:
[tex]\frac{5-(-16)}{18-(-8)}[/tex]
Which, if you simplify, calculates to [tex]\frac{21}{26}[/tex]
