Answer:  Slope of the line formed by the data is -3.  

m=-3    for    y=mx+b.

Step-by-step explanation:  The slope is the change in y (the rise) divided by the change in x (the run) between two points on the line.  I'll pick 2 points:  (-4,17) and (9,-22).  Any two points will work, if it is a straight line.  For these points, y, the rise, changes from 17 to -22, for a net change of (-22 - 17) = -39 for y.  x, the run, goes from -4 to 9, for a change in x of (9 - (-4)) = 13.

The rise(y) over the run(x) for these points is thus (-39/13) = -3

The slope is -3
