Hey there,

This question is asking us to find the slope using the given points. In order to do that we use the equation:


  • (y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1) )

Now we use the points and plug them into the equation above:


  • ((3)-(5))/((-2)-(-7)) =
    (-2)/(5)

Therefore the slope of the line that passes through the points (-7, 5) and (-2, 3) would be
-(2)/(5)

Hope I helped,

Amna
