slope=7/17slope=717

Explanation:

Slope of a line passing through two given points is given by
m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)m=y2−y1x2−x1

Where mm is the slope, x_1 and y_1x1andy1 are the coordinates of one point and x_2 and y_2x2andy2 are the coordinates of another points.

Here let (x_1, y_1)(x1,y1) represent (7,2)(7,2) and (x_2,y_2)(x2,y2) represent (-10,-5)(−10,−5)
implies m=(-5-2)/(-10-7)=-7/-17=7/17⇒m=−5−2−10−7=−7−17=717

implies m=7/17⇒m=717
