First off,we need to understand the formula of slope:

(y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)
Where y is the y coordinate and x is the x coordinate.

In this case:

(7 - ( - 8))/(0 - 0) \\ = 7 + 8 \\ = 15

Therefore the answer is 15.

Hope it helps!

Hi there!

Explanation:


SLOPE=(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)=(RISE)/(RUN)


((-8)-7)/(0-0)=(-15)/(0)

Undefined.

Slope is -15/0 and 0.

Final answer is -15/0 and 0.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)

:D
