Answer 2

Answer:
`(-8)/(5)`

Explanation:

The slope of a line passing through points (a,b) and (m,n) is given by :-

`\text{Slope}=(n-b)/(m-a)`

Given points : (-1,7) and (4,-1)

Then, the slope of the line passing through the points (-1,7) and (4,-1) will be :-

`\text{Slope}=(-1-7)/(4-(-1))\\\\=(-8)/(4+1)\\\\=(-8)/(5)`

Hence, the required slope =
`(-8)/(5)`
