Answer:

y - 2 = (-1/2)(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we go from the point (−5, 7) to the point (5, 2), x increases by 10 and y decreases by 5.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = rise / run = -5/10, or m = -1/2.

Inserting known values into the general point-slope formula, y - k = m(x - h), we get:

y - 2 = (-1/2)(x - 5)
