\text{slope = -2 }(3)/(5)Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (-3,7) and (2,-6)

we apply the slope formula:


m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)
\begin{gathered} x_1=-3,y_1=7,x_2=2,y_2\text{ = }-6 \\ \text{slope = m}=\text{ }(-6-7)/(2-(-3)) \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }(-13)/(2+3) \\ m\text{ = -13/5} \\ \text{slope = -2 }(3)/(5) \end{gathered}
