To find the slope between points e and f, we use the formula: 
slope = (change in Y) / (change in X)
From the table, the change in Y between points e and f is -2 - (-5) = 3, while the change in X is -12 - (-10) = -2. 
Therefore, the slope = (3) / (-2) = -1.5 or -3/2. 
This fraction can be expressed as a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator: -1.5 = -1.50 = -15/10 = -3/2. 
The choice that matches this value is B, -0.25, because -3/2 is equivalent to -0.75 which rounded to two decimal places becomes -0.25.
