Answer:
C.) -5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope formula is rise/run, in other words, rise divided by run or the y variable divided by the corresponding x variable.
In this question, we are told that the y-value is "20 feet above" meaning this is the rise and the run is "4 feet from"
To find the slope all we have to do is divide 20 by 4 giving us 5. Since the ladder is going down we know that we have to place a negative sign before the slope giving us our final answer of -5
