Answer:

7

Explanation:

First, take (-4,7). That is your x1 and y1 numbers. Do the same thing for (-5,0) except, it will be x2 and y2.

Second, subtract y1 from y2 all over x1 from x2

EX: 0-7 m=7

-5-(-4)

Answer:

slope = 7

Explanation:

To calculate the slope m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 0)

m =
(0-7)/(-5+4) =
(-7)/(-1) = 7
