Answer 1

The slope of the line is -2.

Solution:

Given points are (-3, -7) and (2, -17).

Here
`x_1=-3, y_1=-7, x_2=2, y_2=-17`

Slope of the line:

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

`$m=(-17-(-7))/(2-(-3))`

`$m=(-17+7)/(2+3)`

`$m=(-10)/(5)`

m = -2

The slope of the line that passes through the pair of points is -2.
