Answer:

-1

Explanation:

You want the slope of the line through the points (-3, 4) and (2, -1).

Slope

The slope is given by the formula ...

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

Using the given points, we find the slope to be ...

m = (-1 -4)/(2 -(-3)) = -5/5 = -1

The slope of the line through the given points is -1.
