$- \frac{8}{3}$ $-8/3$

Explanation:

we know,
$m = \frac{y_{1} - y_{2}}{x_{1} - x_{2}} . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)$ $m=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2). . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . .(1)$
here,
$y_{1} = 7$ $y_1=7$
$y_{2} = - 1$ $y_2=-1$
$x_{1} = 3$ $x_1=3$
$x_{2} = 6$ $x_2=6$
so, by putting all the values in (1) equation, we get,
$m = \frac{7 - (- 1)}{3 - 6}$ $m=(7-(-1))/(3-6)$
$= \frac{7 + 1}{- 3}$ $=(7+1)/-3$
$= \frac{8}{- 3}$ $=8/-3$

$= - \frac{8}{3}$ $=-8/3$
