ok...we are going to use the slope formula again..
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

we have 2 sets of points...
set 1 : (-8,7)....so we will call these : x1 = -8 and y1 = 7
set 2 : (-4,-5)...and we will call these : x2 = -4 and y2 = -5
now we sub

slope = (-5-7) / (-4-(-8)
slope = (-12) / (-4 + 8)
slope = -12/4
slope = - 3

any questions ?
