Answer:

-2/3

Explanation:

I'm not sure if you're just confused or what, the "question" already tells you, but here's an explanation:

The formula to find the slope, or rise and run, is y2-y1 divided by x2-x1

You plug in the numbers, which of

(2,5) & (-1, 7),

x1 y1 x2 y2

7-5 divided by -1-2 is 2/-3=2/3

If you meant the question below, the slope is -7
