Slope is $m = \frac{10}{7}$ $m=10/7$

Explanation:

Use the slope formula: $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m= (y_2 - y_1 )/(x_2-x_1)$
where $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ $(x_1, y_1)$ is your first point and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ $(x_2,y_2)$ is your second point.

Substitute your values: $m = \frac{- 7 - 3}{- 5 - 2} = \frac{10}{7}$ $m= (-7 - 3)/(-5-2)=10/7$
