Answer:

The slope of the line with points A(-2, -7) and B(3,5) is m = (12/5).

Explanation:

The two pints are given as A(-2, -7) and B(3,5)

Slope of a line with points (a,b) and (c,d) is given as


m =( (d -b)/(c-a) )

So, here the slope of line AB is


m =( (5 - (-7))/(3 - (-2)) )  = (5+ 7)/(3 +2)   = (12)/(5)

or, m = 12/5

Hence, the slope of the line with points A(-2, -7) and B(3,5) is (12/5).
