Answer:

  -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the ratio of rise to run, the change in y divided by the change in x. It is often designated by the letter "m".

  m = (change in y)/(change in x) = (-7 -(-1))/(5 -1) = -6/4

  m = -3/2

The slope of the line through the given points is -3/2.
