Given the points:

(-4, 3) and (3, 1)

Let's find the slope of the line with the given points.

To find the slope of the line, apply the slope formula below:


m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Given:

(x1, y1) ==> (-4, 3)

(x2, y2) ==> (3, 1)

Thus, we have:


\begin{gathered} m=(1-3)/(3-(-4)) \\ \\ m=(1-3)/(3+4) \\ \\ m=(-2)/(7) \\ \\ m=-(2)/(7) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the slope of the line is:


-(2)/(7)

ANSWER:


-(2)/(7)
