The slope is m = -12/21m=−1221

Explanation:

The formula for the slope of a line based upon two coordinate points is

m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)m=y2−y1x2−x1

For the coordinate points (-3,7) and (18,-5)(−3,7)and(18,−5)
x_1 = -3x1=−3
x_2 = 18x2=18
y_1 = 7y1=7
y_2 = -5y2=−5

m = (-5-7)/(18-(-3))m=−5−718−(−3)

m = -12/21m=−1221

The slope is m = -12/21m=−1221
