Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] )
m = [tex]\frac{\frac{5}{7}-\frac{2}{7} }{1-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\frac{3}{7} }{-1}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex]
