The slope $m = - \frac{7}{3}$ $m= - (7)/(3)$

The points given are
$(3, - 5) = x_{1}, y_{1}$ $(3,-5) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(0, 2) = x_{2}, y_{2}$ $(0,2) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

The slope is found using formula
$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$m = \frac{2 - (- 5)}{0 - 3}$ $m=(2 - (-5))/(0-3)$

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

$m = \frac{7}{- 3}$ $m=(7)/(-3)$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: ( 3, -5), (0, 2)(3,−5),(0,2) ( 3, -5), (0, 2)?
