• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-2, -2)

Point (-10, -9)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute [Slope Formula]:                    $m=\frac{-9+2}{-10+2}$
2. Add:                                                          $m=\frac{-7}{-8}$
3. Simplify:                                                   $m=\frac{7}{8}$
