Based on the point given -> (-2, 5), we can figure out the slope of a line passing through the given point and the origin. Let this line be n.

Slope of n = (5-0)/(-2-0) = -2.5

Since the point on line m is to right of the point (-2,5), it's x coordinate value will be lesser, leading to a steeper slope for line m than n. And hence,
The slope of line m < slope of line n
The slope of line m < -2.5.

Therefore, answer is B

Carcass rx10 GreenlightTestPrep please provide official solution.

Slope of a line with points (x1,y1) & (x2,y2) = \(\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\)

Consider this and the solution given by Tejas2805

Please ask if the doubt remains.
