Answer:

-4

Explanation:

Pick any two points, let's go with (-7, 21) and (-6, 17) to find slope:

slope m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (17- 21) / (-6 - (-7))

= -4 / 1

m = -4

---Extra info---

y-intercept using anyone point, let's use (-5, 13) and slope above:

y = mx + b

13 = -4(-5) + b

13 = 20 + b

b = -7

Equation of line:

y = mx + b

y = -4x - 7

Check:

(-7, 21)

y = -4x - 7

21 = -4(-7) - 7

21 = 21

(-4, 9)

y = -4x - 7

9 = -4(-4) - 7

9 = 9
