Answer:

3/2

Explanation:

use the slope formula to solve

y2-y1 is 7- (-5) = 12

x2-x1 is 6- (-2) = 8

the formula is y2 -y1 over x2-x1 so

12/8

simplify it to 3/2 (fraction answer)

convert it to decimal if needed: 1.5 (decimal answer)

slope = (7 - ( - 5))/(6 - ( - 2)) \\


slope = (7 + 5)/(6 + 2) \\


slope = (12)/(8) \\


slope = (4 * 3)/(4 * 2) \\


slope = (3)/(2) \\
