Answer:

[tex]\frac{-10}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula

m= [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

another way to say this is Δy divided by Δx

Δ means "change in"

m = slope

The y2 value is -7

The y1 value is 3

The x2 value is 5

The x1 value is -2

Plug those values in the formula

m = [tex]\frac{(-7)-3}{5-(-2)}[/tex]

Simplify

m = [tex]\frac{-10}{7}[/tex]

The slope is [tex]\frac{-10}{7}[/tex]
