Answer:

The slope is

[tex] - \frac{3}{2} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember:

[tex]Slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]

All we have to do is plug the points in.

[tex]Slope = \frac{ - 7 - ( - 1)}{5 - 1} = \frac{ - 6}{4} = - \frac{ 3}{2} [/tex]

Therefore, your slope is

[tex] - \frac{3}{2} [/tex]
