Answer:

2 and - 1

Explanation:

Calculate the gradients using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, -3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 7) ← 2 points on line A


m_(A) =
(7+3)/(3+2) =
(10)/(5) = 2

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (7, - 2) ← 2 points on line B


m_(B) =
(-2-7)/(7+2) =
(-9)/(9) = - 1
