answer: 1/7

the formula for slope is rise over run, or y1-y2 divided by x1-x2. we can choose either number as y1 or y2 but it needs to stay consistent with x

so let’s plug in from your table.

0-1 divided by -7 -0
(you could also do 1-0 divided by 0-(-7))

-1/-7 which equals 1/7

so, your slope is 1/7

I hope this helps! :)
