Answer:
[tex]\displaystyle =9[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope formula is
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle y_2=7\\\displaystyle y_1=(-2)\\\displaystyle x_2=(-6)\\\displaystyle x_1=(-7)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{7-(-2)}{(-6)-(-7)}=\frac{9}{1}=9[/tex]
Therefore, the slope is 9, and the correct answer is 9.
Hope this helps!
