Use the slope formula to get #- 7/6#

Cool Math

We can follow the slope formula, using the two points given.

#(1,-7)# is our #(x_1,y_1)# and #(-5,0)# is our #(x_2,y_2)#.

#m=(0-(-7)) / (-5-1)#

We then simplify the numerator and denominator.

#0-(-7)=7#, and #-5-1=-6#.

We now have #7/-6#, which becomes #- 7/6#, which is our slope.

-7/6

Use the equation #m =(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1# using the (x,y) coordinates from the points given

#(0--7)/(-5-1)=7/-6#
