Answer:


m=(-2)/(3)

Explanation:

The given points are :

(-7,2) and (-4,0)

We have,

x₁ = -7, y₁ = 2, x₂ = -4 and y₂ = 0

The formula for the slope of the line is given by :


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Put all the values,


m=(0-2)/((-4)-(-7))\\\\m=(-2)/(3)

So, the slope of the line is equal to
-(2)/(3).
