Question
![The image contains a Cartesian coordinate plane with a grid ranging from -10 to 10 on both axes. A blue line is drawn through the points \((-7, -7)\) and \((3, 2)\), indicating it is extending beyond these points in both directions. The graph includes two red points: one at \((-2, -6)\) and another at \((1, -4)\).
A red dotted triangle is formed to illustrate the calculation of slope:
- The vertical leg of the triangle shows a rise of 2 (from -6 to -4).
- The horizontal leg shows a run of 3 (from -2 to 1).
This visual suggests that the slope of the line can be calculated with the formula:
\[
\text{slope} (m) = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{2}{3}
\]
The text at the top of the image asks, "What is the slope of the given line?"](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff6cdf8ea-5d77-4920-9725-309e5033b89f%2F59be4388-3649-49f9-a362-47517bef243a%2Fuu5hw8v_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
