Answer:

Slope = -⅓

Explanation:

The equation for the slope of a straight line is

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

The line passes through (-1, 2) and (-4, 3).

m = (3 - 2)/[-4 - (-1)]

= 1/(-4 + 1)

= -⅓

The slope of the line is -⅓.

The Figure below shows the graph of your line through (-1, 2) and (-4, 3) with a slope of -⅓.
