To find the slope of a line passing through two points, we use the formula:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

Let the two given points be (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Then, 
change in y = y2 - y1 
change in x = x2 - x1

Using the given points (11eb69da_9eda_d364_af94_8dc431fdca89_TB8311_11), we can calculate:
change in y = (-4) - 4 = -8 
change in x = (-2) - 1 = -3

slope = (change in y) / (change in x) = (-8) / (-3) = 8/3 = -2⅔

Therefore, the answer is D, -2.
