Answer:


\displaystyle -(15)/(4)

Explanation:

Slope formula: ⇒
\displaystyle (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


\displaystyle y_2=(-7)\\\displaystyle y_1=8\\\displaystyle x_2=7\\\displaystyle x_1=3\\


\displaystyle((-7)-8)/(7-3)=(-15)/(4)=-(15)/(4)

Therefore, the slope is -15/4, and the correct answer is -15/4.

Hope this helps!
