Answer:

The rate of change or the slope is 7. (If you were to graph this, you would use 7/1.

Explanation:

To find the slope when you're given two sets of points, you must find the distance from the y values and the distance from the x values!

Y values: distance from -2 to 5 is +7

X values: distance from -2 to -1 is +1

7/1 or just 7.

Hope this helps! :)
