rise over run

you can also use the y2-y1/x2-x1 but these numbers where small enough where graphing can help visually

Answer:

slope = 3

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 7 )

m =
(-7-5)/(0-4) =
(-12)/(-4) = 3
