Answer:


(5)/(-12)

Explanation:

If you use the formula
m = \frac{y2 - y1} {x2 - x1} with x1 being 7, y1 being 0, -5 being x2 and 5 being y2, then you can subtract. 5(y2) minus 0(y1) is 5, and -5(x2) minus 7(x1) is -12. The formula would look like this:
m = (5 - 0)/(-5 - 7) (5)/(-12).

(tip: you need to do rise over run, aka y over x, shown as
(y)/(x) or
(rise)/(run))

I hope I helped you answer your question, and helped better understand it as well
