Answer:

Explanation:

Hey sweetie!

We are given two points: (-7, 9) & (5, 5)

And we are asked to find the slope

To do this only given two points use the Slope-Formula to solve for the slope

m = slope
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = 5-9/5–7
m = -4/12
m = - 1/3

The slope will be - 1/3

Final Answer: m = - 1/3
