Answer:
[tex]m=\dfrac{-2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given points are :
(-7,2) and (-4,0)
We have,
x₁ = -7, y₁ = 2, x₂ = -4 and y₂ = 0
The formula for the slope of the line is given by :
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]m=\dfrac{0-2}{(-4)-(-7)}\\\\m=\dfrac{-2}{3}[/tex]
So, the slope of the line is equal to [tex]-\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex].
