The slope formula is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points on the line. Therefore, we can substitute the given points into the formula to find the slope

(2-6)/(5-(-2)) = -4/7

This means that the slope of the line is -4/7.

Option A is incorrect because it is not the slope calculated using the given points.

Option B is incorrect because it is the opposite of the slope calculated, which should be negative.

Option D is incorrect because it is the reciprocal of the correct slope. The slope of a line passing through these two points is a negative value, not a positive value.
