Answer:

The slope of given line = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

slope of the line with end points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by,

Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

To find the slope of the line

Here (x1, y1) = (-7, 3) and (x2, y2) = (1, -9)

Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

 = (-9 - 3)/(1 - -7)

 = (-12)/8

 = -3/2

Therefore the slope of given line = -3/2
