Answer:

Slope of the line through the pair of points: (6,7) and (-3,5) is
\mathbf{-(2)/(3)}

Explanation:

Find me shape of the line through the pair of

points:

1) (6,7) and (-3,5)

(Note: Correction. I assume there is spelling mistake and you need to find slope of line and not shape)

The slope of line can be found using formula:
Slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

We are given points (6,7) and (-3,5)

We can write: x_1=6, y_1=7, x_2=-2, y_2=5

Now, putting values in the formula and finding slope


Slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\Slope=(5-7)/(-3-(-6))\\Slope=(5-7)/(-3+6)\\Slope=(-2)/(3)

So, the slope is
-(2)/(3)

Therefore, Slope of the line through the pair of points: (6,7) and (-3,5) is
\mathbf{-(2)/(3)}
