Answer:
[tex]m=-2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The ratio of rise to run is equal to the slope
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
we have
[tex](-1,7)\ (4,-3)[/tex]
Substitute the values
[tex]m=\frac{-3-7}{4+1}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{-10}{5}=-2[/tex]
