negative one fourth

Answer 1

The answer is 1/10 “one/tenth

Answer 2

This answer was generated by an AI and may be incorrect.

The slope of a line can be found using the formula:

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

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

Plugging in the given points, we get:

m = (-4 - (-7/2)) / (2 - (-3)) = 3/2 / 5 = 3/10

So, the slope of the line is 3/10, which is equal to one tenth.

Therefore, the answer is "one tenth."
