Answer:  C)  2

==================================================

Explanation:

Subtract the y coordinates

y1-y2 = -96-(-86) = -96+86 = -10

Subtract the x coordinates in the same order

x1-x2 = 82-87 = -5

Divide the two differences to get the slope m

m = (y1-y1)/(x1-x2)

m = -10/(-5)

m = 2

You could also use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

to get the same result. All that matters is that you subtract in the same order for the x and y coordinates.
