Answer:
[tex]\frac{-10}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula
m= [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
another way to say this is Δy divided by Δx
Δ means "change in"
m = slope
The y2 value is -7
The y1 value is 3
The x2 value is 5
The x1 value is -2
Plug those values in the formula
m = [tex]\frac{(-7)-3}{5-(-2)}[/tex]
Simplify
m = [tex]\frac{-10}{7}[/tex]
The slope is [tex]\frac{-10}{7}[/tex]
