m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m= (7-(-2)/(-3-6)
m=7+2/-9
m=9/-9
m=-1

The slope is -1.

I hope this helps!

Let


A(6,-2)\\B(-3,7)

we know that

the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to


m=((y2-y1))/((x2-x1))

Substitute the values in the formula


m=((7+2))/((-3-6))


m=((9))/((-9))


m=-1

therefore

the answer is

the slope is equal to
m=-1
