Answer:

Slope = 1 2/5 or 1.4

Explanation:

Using the y2 - y1/x2 - x1 format, you first replace the variables with the points (5 and 0 can be x1, y1, while 0 and -7 can be x2, y2)

-7 - 0/0 - 5

Now subtract: -7 - 0 = -7; 0 - 5 = -5

You would get -7/-5, which simplified: 1.4 or 1 2/5

:p

there you go!
