Answer :

Answer:

[tex]\sf -\dfrac{7}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the slope of a line:

  (1, -5)    ⇒ x₁ = 1    ; y₁ = -5

  (-3, 2)  ⇒ x₂ = -3  ; y₂ = 2

[tex]\sf \boxed{\bf Slope = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}[/tex]

            [tex]\sf =\dfrac{2-[-5]}{-3-1}\\\\= \dfrac{2+5}{-4}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{-4}\\\\= -\dfrac{7}{4}[/tex]
