Answer:

-1

Explanation:

The slope is -1, and here's why. To find the slope, take the x- and y-coordinates of each point separately and subtract them from each other, then divide. In our case, it'll look like this:

(0 - 7)/(7 - 0)

-7/7

-1

So, our slope is -1.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, let me know!
