Answer:
-1
Option C is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the points be A and B
A ( -2 , 7 ) -----> ( x1 , y1 )
B ( 2 , 3 )-------> ( x2 , y2)
Now, let's find the slope:
Slope = [tex] \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} [/tex]
plug the values
[tex] = \frac{3 - 7}{2 - ( - 2)} [/tex]
Calculate the difference
[tex] = \frac{ - 4}{2 - (2)} [/tex]
When there is a ( - ) in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression
[tex] = \frac{ - 4}{2 + 2} [/tex]
Add the numbers
[tex] = \frac{ - 4}{4} [/tex]
Any expression divided by its opposite equals -1
[tex] = - 1[/tex]
Hope this helps..
Best regards!!
