You provided two points: \( (3,7) \) and \( (6,-5) \). 

Let me show you some calculations you can do with these points:

### 1. **Slope of the Line**  
The slope \( m \) of the line passing through these two points is calculated as:

\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
m = \frac{-5 - 7}{6 - 3} = \frac{-12}{3} = -4
\]

So, the slope of the line is \( -4 \).

### 2. **Equation of the Line**  
The equation of the line in point-slope form is:

\[
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
\]

Using the point \( (3, 7) \) and slope \( m = -4 \):

\[
y - 7 = -4(x - 3)
\]

Expanding this equation:

\[
y - 7 = -4x + 12
\]
\[
y = -4x + 19
\]

So, the equation of the line is \( y = -4x + 19 \).

### 3. **Distance Between the Points**  
The distance \( d \) between the two points is given by the distance formula:

\[
d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
d = \sqrt{(6 - 3)^2 + (-5 - 7)^2} = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (-12)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 144} = \sqrt{153} \approx 12.37
\]

### 4. **Midpoint Between the Points**  
The midpoint \( M \) between the two points is given by:

\[
M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
M = \left( \frac{3 + 6}{2}, \frac{7 - 5}{2} \right) = (4.5, 1)
\]
