Answer:

D. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} \\ }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]

(-1,3)

[tex]x_{2}, y_{2}[/tex]

(4,-7)

[tex]x_{1}, y_{1}[/tex]

Plug in the numbers into the formula now

[tex]\frac{3-(-7)}{-1-4}[/tex]

negative minus negative equals positive

[tex]\frac{10}{-5}[/tex]

reduces to -2
