The slope, $m = - \frac{7}{2}$ $m=-7/2$ .

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

where $m$ $m$ is the slope and $x_{1}$ $x_1$ and $y_{1}$ $y_1$ are a point on the line, and $x_{2}$ $x_2$ and $y_{2}$ $y_2$ are another point on the line. For the purposes of answering this question, Point 1= $(0, 0)$ $(0,0)$ and Point 2= $(- 2, 7)$ $(-2,7)$ .

$m = \frac{7 - 0}{- 2 - 0} = \frac{7}{- 2} = - \frac{7}{2}$ $m=(7-0)/(-2-0)=7/-2=-7/2$
