Answer : Third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the formula of two point slope form i.e.


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Since we have given two points are (-3,4) and (4,-1)

where


x_1=-3\\x_2=4\\y_1=4\\y_2=-1

Now we apply the formula ,


m=(-1-4)/(4+3)\\\\m=(-5)/(7)

So, slope of this line passing through the points (-3,4) and (4,-1) is given by


m=(-5)/(7)
