Answer:

[tex]m=-2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The ratio of rise to run is equal to the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

we have

[tex](-1,7)\ (4,-3)[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]m=\frac{-3-7}{4+1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-10}{5}=-2[/tex]
