Answer:

-1

Explanation:


(10-8)/(-7- - 5) =
(2)/(-7+5) =
(2)/(-2) = -1

Ordered pairs are written (x,y) The first number is the x coordinate and the second number is the y coordinate.

(-5,8) and (-7,10) You take the y's and subtract them that is your numerator. Take the x's and subtract them. That is your denominator.
