Explanation:

(5,7)=(X1,Y1)

(-2,0)=(X2,Y2)

slope(m)=y2-y1/x2-x1

=0-7/-2-5

=-7/-7

=canceled each other then answer is 1

Answer:

Slope: 1

Explanation:

In this question, we need to find the slope with the given points.

To find the slope, we would use the equation:

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Plug in your coordinates and solve:

m = 0 - 7/-2 - 5

m = -7/-7

Two negatives cancel each other to make a positive, and 7/7 = 1

m = 1

This means that the slope would be 1.
