Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (23, - 30) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 7, 18)
m = [tex]\frac{18-(-30)}{-7-23}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{18+30}{-30}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{48}{-30}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex]
