Answer:
-2.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope or gradient is the ratio of the vertical (y axis) and horizontal distances (x axis) between two points on a line.
It should be noted that it is defined as zero if the line is horizontal, but undefined if it is vertical.
Given:
Coordinates (- 3, 7) (2, - 6)
y1 = 7, y2= -6, x1= -3, x2=2
Slope : ∆ y/ ∆ x
= (y2 - y1 )/ (x2 - x1)
= (-6 - (7))/ (2 - (-3))
= (-13)/(5) = -13:5= -2.6
