Answer:

-7/2 or -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is rise over run.

The rise is how much it went up and the run is how much it went right

The line went up 7 units while going -2 units to the right (meaning it went 2 units to the left)

This makes our slope 7/-2 which is the same as -7/2 or -3.5
