The slope is $m = - \frac{7}{5}$ $m =-7/5$

Explanation:

The formula for slope is

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

For the coordinate points $(- 3, 2) and (2, - 5)$ $(-3,2) and (2,-5)$
$x_{1} = - 3$ $x_1 = -3$
$x_{2} = 2$ $x_2 = 2$
$y_{1} = 2$ $y_1 = 2$
$y_{2} = - 5$ $y_2 = -5$

$m = \frac{- 5 - 2}{2 - (- 3)}$ $m = (-5-2)/(2-(-3))$

$m = - \frac{7}{5}$ $m = -7/5$

The slope is $m = - \frac{7}{5}$ $m =-7/5$
