Answer:

see explanation

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 ) = (- 5, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 3 )

m = [tex]\frac{-3-4}{2-(-5)}[/tex]

Her error was subtracting 5 from 2 instead of - 5 from 2

m = [tex]\frac{-7}{2+5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-7}{7}[/tex] = - 1 ← corrected solution
