1. The problem is to find the slope $m$ of the line passing through the points $(-7,7)$ and $(7,-7)$.
2. The formula for slope between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is:
$$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$$
3. Substitute the given points into the formula:
$$m = \frac{-7 - 7}{7 - (-7)}$$
4. Simplify the numerator and denominator:
$$m = \frac{-14}{7 + 7}$$
5. Simplify the denominator:
$$m = \frac{-14}{14}$$
6. Cancel common factors:
$$m = \frac{\cancel{-14}}{\cancel{14}} = -1$$
7. Therefore, the slope of the line is $-1$.
