Answer:

The slope of the line is -1.

Explanation:

SLOPE OF A LINE FORMULA

SLOPE = Y2 - Y1/ x2 - x1

m = Y2 - Y1/ x2 - x1

m = 3 - 7 / 2- (-2)

m = -4/4

m = -1

The slope of the line is -1.

Answer is -1 slope
Reason
Slope is found by using
Y2-Y1 over X2-X1
So
3-7 over 2-(-2)
-4 over 4
-4/4 or -1 slope
