it's important that you should remember this formula, so you know the slope of the line:

slope formula:
(y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))

usually i would label the points, like the picture shown below

then, you plug in the points into the equation:

m =
(3 - (-4))/(4 - (-4))

m =
(7)/(8)

hope this helps!

Answer:

The slope is 7/8

Explanation:

Use the equation: (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)

[3 - (-4)] / [4 - (-4) = 7/8

The slope is 7/8
