Answer:

7

Explanation:

The slope is found by taking the change in y and dividing that by the change in x. We can choose any two points because the slope is constant.

Arbitrarily, choose (-7, -7) and (-4, 14). The change in y is: 14 - (-7) = 21. The change in x is: -4 - (-7) = 3. We divide the two: 21 / 3 = 7.

The slope is 7.

Hope this helps!

the slope is 7 because the slope formula m = rise over run gets you there
