Answer 1

Hello, the slope of the line is given by: m = rise/run.
You are given two points, can you calculate the rise and run between both points?

Answer 2

@freeG13 come back please

Answer 3

Welcome back @FreeG13.

The rise is given by: -7 - 3 = -10.
The run is given by: 4 - (-1) = 5.

The slope is: rise/run: -10/5 = -2.

Please let me know if any of this does not make sense. Learning is more important than the problem itself.
