The slope: $m = \frac{11}{16}$ $m=(11)/(16)$

$(25, 17) = x_{1}, y_{1}$ $(25,17) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(- 7, - 5) = x_{2}, y_{2}$ $(-7,-5) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

The slope is calculated using formula

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

$m = \frac{- 5 - 17}{- 7 - 25}$ $m=(-5 -17)/(-7-25)$

$m = \frac{- 22}{- 32}$ $m=(-22)/(-32)$

$m = \frac{22}{32}$ $m=(22)/(32)$

$m = \frac{11}{16}$ $m=(11)/(16)$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (25,17) ; (-7,-5)(25,17);(−7,−5) (25,17) ; (-7,-5)?
