Answer:

 m    = (-9-3)/(1+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope given two points we use

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m    = (-9-3)/(1--7)

 m    = (-9-3)/(1+7)

m = -12/8

   = -3/2

Slope m has a form of,

[tex]m=\dfrac{\Delta{y}}{\Delta{x}}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Your points say A and B have a form of,

[tex]A(x_1,y_1),B(x_2,y_2)\longrightarrow A(-7,3),B(1,-9)[/tex]

We can populate our slope formula to,

[tex]m=\dfrac{-9-3}{1-(-7)}=\dfrac{-12}{8}=\boxed{-\dfrac{3}{2}}[/tex]

The slope of the line that passes through point A and B is m = -3/2

Hope this helps.
