Answer:[tex]-\frac{2}{1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope of a line that passes through the points (-7, 3) and (-5, -1).
Plug in the two points into [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex] and solve.
[tex]\frac{(-1)-(3)}{(-5)-(-7)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-4}{2}[/tex]
Simplify the fraction.
[tex]\frac{-4}{2}[/tex] →[tex]\frac{-2}{1}[/tex]
The slope of this line would be [tex]-\frac{2}{1}[/tex].
