Answer:

9

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line, calculate the distance between points with a ratio of vertical to horizontal distance. This is done using the formula:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Here the points are (-7,-2) and (-6,7). Substitute and simplify.


m=(7--2)/(-6--7)=(7+2)/(-6+7)=(9)/(1)=9
