To find the slope from these two points, you would use this formula:
%28y%5E2-y%5E1%29%2F%28x%5E2-x%5E1%29
Now with the points (7,5) and (10, -3)
You can declare the first parenthesis as point 1, and the second as point 2.
Now plug into formula:
%28-3-5%29%2F%2810-7%29
%28-8%2F3%29 That is your slope.
