Answer:

-4.

Explanation:

The slope formula is y2-y1/x2-x1. if we plug in the numbers we can get the formula -11 - (-7)/ 3-2. This gets us -4/1 which equals -4. Therefore the slope of the equation is -4.

Answer:

-4

Explanation:

m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

m = -11-(-7) / 3-2

m = -11+7 / 3-2

m = -4 / 1

m = -4

m = -39-(-27) / 10-7

m = -39+27 / 10-7

m = -12 / 3

if you simplify if further,

m = -4 / 1

m = -4
