The slope is -4/7

Step-by-step explanation: The equation for slope is (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

so in this case it would be (₋3-1)/(4+3)

Finding the slope using two points:

The formula for slope is


(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))

In this case...


y_(2) =-3\\y_(1) =1\\x_(2) =4\\x_(1) =-3

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...


(-3-1)/(4 - (-3))


(-4)/(7)

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!
