Slope of the line through the points (-5, 7) and (-4, -2)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29


m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+%28x%5B1%5D%29%29


m+=+%28-2+-+7%29%2F%28-4+-+%28-5%29%29


m+=+%28-2+-+7%29%2F%28-4+%2B+5%29


m+=+%28-9%29%2F%281%29


m+=+-9



Answer: Slope is m+=+-9
