Given: The formula for slope is given
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Required: To find the slope between (-3,7) and (5,-9).
Explanation: Here,
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(-3,7) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(5,-9) \end{gathered}[/tex]
Putting these values in the formula for slope we get,
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{-9-7}{5-(-3)} \\ m=-\frac{16}{8} \\ m=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Final Answer:
[tex]Slope=-2[/tex]
