Answer:

The slope of the points (-3,2) (-5,-2) is 2

The slope of the points (7,1) (1,-7)​ is 4/3

Explanation:

Use rise over run (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points given and find the slopes:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-2 - 2) / (-5 + 3)

-4/-2

= 2

Find the next slope:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-7 - 1) / (1 - 7)

-8/-6

= 4/3

The slope of the points (-3,2) (-5,-2) is 2

The slope of the points (7,1) (1,-7)​ is 4/3
