Answer:

m= -10/4

Explanation:

1) Decide what your Y1, Y2, X1, X2 are

2) Put into this slope formula: M (STAND FOR SLOPE)= y2-y1

x2-x1

3)Solve

ONE:

(7, -10) and (3, 0)

x1 y1 x2 y2

TWO:

m= y2-y1 0- (-10)

x2-x1 3-7

*There are 2 negative/subtraction sighns between the0 and the 10. These two negative/subtraction sighns result in a positive/adding symbol. Therefor you add the 10 and 0.*

THREE:

m= 0+10 10 10

3-7 -4 -4

BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM OF SLOP IS NEGATIVE.
