Answer:

$m=\frac{5}{7}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-9, -10)

Point (-2, -5)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                    $m=\frac{-5+10}{-2+9}$
2. Add:                              $m=\frac{5}{7}$

And we have our final answer!
