$- \frac{1}{4}$ $-1/4$

Explanation:

Slope of line passing between 2 points $(x_{1}, y_{1}) a n (x_{2}, y_{2})$ $(x_1,y_1) an (x_2, y_2)$ is

$m = \frac{y_{1} - y_{2}}{x_{1} - x_{2}}$ $m = (y_1 - y_2)/(x_1 - x_2)$

For the line passing through points $(5, - 7) and (2, 5)$ $(5,-7) and (2,5)$ , slope = $\frac{5 - 2}{- 7 - 5} = - \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$ $(5-2)/(-7 - 5) = -3/12= 1/4$
